Free diesel!!!!

AdBlue® (diesel exhaust fluid) usage may increase, and, as a result,
require more frequent refilling of your AdBlue® tank. As a courtesy to
you, your vehicle will be returned to you with a full tank of AdBlue® and
fuel during the Approved Emission Modification (AEM). AdBlue® refillings
will also be offered free of charge between service intervals for:

Make sure your Low Fuel light is on before you go in for you modification!

Haha. Thanks for the reminder! I've had my Q7 parked with a full tank. Guess I'll drive it around before the ECR

OK now I'm pissed
2013 TDI Touareg
Spend hours filling our paperwork, uploads, confirmations, appointment for tomorrow 11/2/2017 "proof of ownership" and 1st payment processing of $3,300 and bosch sends an email saying $1,500 in process....and then 24 hrs ago --"The fix is in", no payments are authorized.

Then an email today canceling my appt for tomorrow from VW

So I go to the portal and it askes to make an appointment for the "Fix"--while I don't want the fix right now (Drags down performance)--I want payment # 1 and I will get payment # 2 when I have the fix done when I sell or trade....

Gypped and pissed at VW....!!

What a fiasco--not happy at all.

Hours? Seriously? If it took you more than about 10 minutes, you were doing something very wrong.

Not going to happen--the participation payment was only available until a fix was approved. That was part of the agreement.

Yes, how dare they have the fix approved before you were ready!

Wow, sorry your claim took so long and I can understand your frustration. The good news is that we don't know if the fix will "drag down performance". The reason you can't get the 1/2 restitution is because the fix is approved so VW can focus on getting the fix installed.

Any idea why your paperwork took so long, I've had claims approved within a couple days.
