Looks like VW has made progress towards a resolution to the 3.0 TDI cheating diesel saga.

some big payouts for the Audi/Porche owners.

Maybe it's too soon but my 2016 A6 3.0TDI is "not included" when I enter the VIN on the website noted. Anybody else?

Yep. Same thing when I tried this morning. I suspect it won't become available until after Feb. 14th when it is finalized by the court.

So wanting to make sure. The dollar amounts. Are they the cost to apply the fix, which VW is obviously covering, or are they the actual payout (cold hard cash) you will get if you chose to do that option (again, the fix still also covered by VW.)

Transporter208

Hard cash. 50% upfront and the balance paid out after the fix is performed. If a fix is not approved by the deadline established by the court then you get some more hard cash with the added option for VW/Audi to buy back your car. This applies to the newer Gen 2 TDI's.

It seems you have a good grasp of the agreement. Please keep us informed with any info that may come your way. Thank you.

I like the numbers they're throwing around. So basically our key dates at this point are:

1) Aug 25th 2017 --> VW Submits Modifications
2) Nov 10th 2017 --> Final Submit
3) Dec 20th 2017 --> Final decision (Compliant or Reduced)

Seems the Dec 20th is soft in that they may very well have up to 3 additional months @ $500/mo payment to owners.

Curious that there seems no improvement on timing of our cars being fixed even though they floated a plan mid last year on how to do it and our cars are still lagging in the "fix schedule" by 6 months. Would guess they're getting the higher value cars and/or easier to fix ones out of the way before the heavier lifting on ours. Even so, the schedule is quite disappointing. I'm glad that I'm not wanting to get rid of the car!

I missed these dates, I thought Feb. 14 was the next date of concern?

These dates are based on the actual fix schedule. Go to audidieselsettlement, click 3.0, scroll to FAQ and then "when will I get the emissions modifications". Scroll way down and you'll see all of these dates. The 10k stuff is nice, but I'm more interested in the dates triggering a buyback (real money) and how long I need to hold onto the car to get there (maybe)

Agree, I'm definitely hoping for a non-timely fix, which would open up the option to buyback or trade-in for the buyback value. The trade-in option is even better as you'd realize the additional sales tax savings (in most states), assuming you're willing to purchase another Audi/VW product.

Looks like we can also expect another $1,500 or so from Bosch:

VW agrees fresh compensation deal as Bosch is drawn into diesel scandal

Bosch reaches settlement agreement for diesel vehicles in the U.S. - Bosch Media Service

My TDI is turning out to be the best car purchase I've ever made!!

Now waiting to see what happens with the class action suit against MB and their Bluetec models, which my wife drives.
