False. I didn't know you were present when we talked on the phone. Do you enjoy spreading nonsense? Use Google and you will find the court documents, including the DOJ attorneys and their role in this entire case.

Anyways, pretty obvious there are some sour "know it all" around here. This is turning into a waste of time. I got my money, time to move on. Enjoy your TDI grieve.

The DOJ was never a party to the Bosch suit, and therefore not a party to its Settlement. Therefore, it had no role, and could do nothing other than forward your complaint to the private attorneys representing Bosch plaintiffs.

As stated in the last two sentences in the answer to FAQ one,

The government entities did not sue Bosch, but the private Plaintiffs did. The Bosch Settlement resolves the claims the private Plaintiffs brought against Bosch.

Turned in my car on 7/26. Check was in my mailbox today. Smooth and easy process and the money is being put towards a tune on my new to me mkiv tdi wagon.

Did the Gen 2 fix for my 2013 Passat when the fix was first announced and just got the check today.

Turned in Feb., no check here yet either.

Turned in the A3 on Jan 27th... No check as of today. I also called earlier this morning, and all I could get was that the check has not been sent out yet. (Basically the same staggered delay as-with the 3 Month turn in process)

DubFamily · Sep 6, 2017

Turned my car in 2/14 iirc; got my Bosch check last night.
Spent it within an hour, too...

ascreech · Sep 6, 2017

Completed buyback of 2012 A3 TDI on Aug 3, 2017.
Received Audi/VW payment on Aug 4 (!!!).
Received Bosch payment on Sep 5, dated Sep 1.
No hassles at any point during the processes.

I had to change my home address. Went to the Bosch portal/dashboard. There was a red flagged issue that my purchase date did not match my documentation. I did not receive any notification of this. Scumbags let it sit like that, and I had made 2 previous inquiries on where my check was.

I presume the purchase date is the date on my Title document?

I now have a message in my Bosch dashboard that says the following. *** does this mean? (Will be calling later).

N072 : Pending Withdrawal – Unpaid
In re: Volkswagen "Clean Diesel" Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation
Case No. 3:15-md-02672-CRB (“MDL 2672”)

Dear Bosch Settlement Claimant,

Our records indicate that you have an approved claim in the Volkswagen Settlement and therefore you are eligible for a Bosch Settlement payment, in the form of a check, for your eligible vehicle. In light of this pending automatic payment, the Claims Supervisor will withdraw the active claim that was filed through the Bosch Settlement Claimant Portal (https://boschvwsettlement.mdl.online) for this vehicle.

Should you have any questions regarding your Bosch Claim, or your Bosch Settlement payment, please contact the Claims Administrator toll-free at 1-844-305-1928, or by email to info@BoschVWSettlement.com.

Sincerely,

Bosch Settlement
Claims Administrator

It means just what it says. If you've filed a claim with VW/Audi, you don't need to (and shouldn't) file a claim with Bosch. Just as literally every communication from Bosch has said.

johnnyrotten · Sep 14, 2017

Got the Bosch check today!

For 2.0L or 3.0L?

That was never communicated to me. Why did they respond to my registration in June with requests to provide additional information and say that my information did not match the documents I submitted?

Who would be filing a claim with Bosch that did not file a claim against VW/Audi?

Someone that filed their own claim against VW and opted out of the class-action. As was written in the lawsuit documentation.

There's a potential to get money damages out of VW that the class-action lawsuit glosses over, but for 99% of the owners of these cars, the lawyer fees are not worth it.

Now if you owned a business that somehow hinged on these cars and you owned them for the purpose of conducting your business, you could probably have gotten more money from VW than in the lawsuit. Just as a hypothetical example.

You never got the email? Never got the postcard? Because it was explained in both places. And it's certainly explained on the Bosch settlement website:

I filed an approved claim in the 2.0-liter Class Action Settlement, the 3.0-liter Class Action Settlement, or in both Settlements. Am I a Class Member here?
Yes, the Bosch Settlement includes those whose claims are approved in the VW Settlements. If you filed (or will file) a claim in one or both of those settlements and the claim is approved, you are a Class Member here and will be eligible for an automatic payment if you do not opt out of the Bosch Settlement. Remember, if you filed an approved claim in either the 2.0-liter or 3.0-liter settlements, you will get an automatic payment in the Bosch Settlement. You do not have to file a claim.

(bold in original, color added for emphasis)

Edit: From the 3.0 postcard notice:

If you file a claim in the 3.0-liter Settlement and your claim is approved, you will automatically receive a payment through the Bosch Settlement. Go to www.VWCourtSettlement.com to file a 3.0-liter claim online any time before December 31, 2019, or register as an Eligible Former Owner by May 1, 2017.

(formatting in original)

From the "submit a claim" page:

IF YOU FILED (OR WILL FILE) A CLAIM IN ONE OR BOTH OF THE 2.0-LITER OR 3.0-LITER VOLKSWAGEN SETTLEMENTS, AND THE CLAIM IS APPROVED, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY AN ELIGIBLE CLASS MEMBER IN THE BOSCH SETTLEMENT AND WILL RECEIVE PAYMENT IF YOU DO NOT OPT OUT OF THE BOSCH SETTLEMENT. IF THIS DESCRIBES YOUR SITUATION, YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILE A CLAIM IN THE BOSCH SETTLEMENT.

(bold, red, and caps in original, underline added)

So how was that "never communicated" to you? Some simple reading would have saved you some time and frustration.

MBQ · Sep 16, 2017

I called the Bosch customer service line and was told that a large batch of checks will be sent out on next monday.

Listen, you don't need to be a freaking dickhead and be so condescending with your simple reading comment.

The answer to all of your questions is no. No postcard, and nothing in my original e-mails from VW/Audi. Here is what my settlement notice said:

"Please note: There is a separate class action settlement agreement with Bosch which provides additional cash payments to 3.0-*liter Eligible Owners, Former Owners, and Lessees. You will receive information about that settlement by separate notice. Visit www.BoschVWSettlement.com
for more information."

Try being a little more helpful, and less of a know it all.

How would you expect information to be communicated to you if you never went to the website provided in the email you received?

Here is a direct copy an paste from the link you were provided,

"If you filed or choose to file a claim in the VW Settlements, you do not need to file a claim in the Bosch Settlement. If your VW Settlement claim is approved, you will automatically receive a check in the mail from the Bosch Settlement."

I can understand how frustrating it must be to complain about information never being provided to you, and then have someone show you that it was indeed provided, and in fact you just never bothered to read it.

In what way can we on the forum be more helpful, than to provide direct quotes from VW and Bosch?

My dad got a Bosch check today for $375. His 3.0 had 1/2 of the repair money available. It looks like Bosch may be paying 1/2 now and 1/2 upon installation of the "fix".

Ditto. Turned in the 3.0 7/5 and still waiting for the Bosch check.

Sorry you feel that I'm being condescending for pointing out that you didn't read even the BOLD, RED, ALL CAPS text on the page on which you submitted your claim. Your opinion is noted.

Did he buy it used? I didn't think the Bosch check was split between the two parts of the fix.

DanB36 · Sep 19, 2017

Looks like four checks from Bosch coming today, which should be all that are coming so far (haven't filed the claim for the A3 yet; haven't decided whether we want to keep the car or sell it back). They would cover 3 x 2.0 and 1 x 3.0. I'm away for a few days, so won't know the amounts until this weekend.

TDIforDays · Sep 19, 2017

Got a bunch coming today, looks like from my July 7th 3.0 selloff. Will let you guys know the amounts when mail comes in.

DSIre · Sep 19, 2017

How are you getting information about when the checks are getting mailed?

TDIforDays · Sep 19, 2017

USPS Informed Delivery. Its a service available in certain zip codes. You get an email in the morning with scan of your mail that is coming that day

Check received today. Audi A3 Turn in was early February.

He did, I received 5 envelopes from Bosch as well. Yesterday it was a good day!
I also received a $375 check that I assume is for the Q5 I bought in Feb that had a FO claim on it.
Pretty silly that Bosch doesnt put the VIN on the checks, if you ask me.

Who got the payment from BOSCH?
