]]> If you an Audi owner or an enthusiast no doubt you know about dieselgate. If you happen to drive the one with 3.0 TDI engine you are part of the whole thing. Where are we at the process now? Hopefully you went to Audi’s Claim website and started the process. Heads up, it is a bit of a process to firstly get the amount of money you are owed and then verify your vehicle ownership with the dealership.

01/02/2017

Federal Trade Comission requires VW to repair, buyback and compensate the owners of 3.0 TDI engines. Here is the link describing the decision, P

Proposed Settlement:

Generation 1 TDI 3.0 – fix the emissions and offer cash payout, buybacks or early lease termination

Generation 2 TDI 3.0 – fix the emissions, not buybacks offered right now. Their rationale that they can actually fix generation 2 engines to be compliant with the original EPA and CARB certifications. In any case if they can’t find a way to fix it, then buybacks and cash payouts will be offered to Generation 2 owners as well. Currently Generation 2 owners are schedule for repairs after Generation 1 cars have been dealt with.

It is important to note that VW is still proposing the fix that needs to be approved by the government first. One has to wonder if the know how to fix it, why they didn’t design the engine like that right away?

Key Date:

December 20, 2017 – this is by which date the fix needs to be approved by EPA/CARB or Buyback option starts be open for Generation 2 owners.

Bosch Payout

Yes Bosch was dragged into the scandal. Part of their agreement is that they assume no acceptance of guilt or liability. They will pay $327,500,000 to settle the claim. This should be around $1500 per claim.

Cash Payouts:

Settlement Payments To Generation Two Owners

If Emissions Compliant Repair Timely Available

2014 Audi A6 TDI Premium Plus$8,014-$8,349

]]> You might have heard that Takata, a Japanese Air Bag manufacturer filed for a bankruptcy this Sunday.  If you don’t want to read the article, Takata manufactured faulty airbags that effected 19 different automakers. A moisture would make their way inside the airbag and when it was time for an airbag to inflate, it would rupture and shrapnel passengers. At least 16 people were killed and 180 injured. Worldwide they recalled around 100 million airbags and 46.2 million in USA alone. According to few sources close to 2/3 of USA recalls are still on the road without the fix. All of those recalls put a tremendous financial pressure on Takata and that is why they are looking for bankruptcy protection.

Here are few questions you might have.

Will Takata still replace airbags if court grants bankruptcy protection?

Yes they will continue to replace airbags, bankruptcy protection gives them a breathing room to not pay the creditors. The speed of replacement might be fairly slow. Most likely they are replacing the are managing the risk and replacing the most dangerous cars at first aka older cards in humid climates. Your dealer should notify you when recall is available for your car.

I bought my Audi in 2017 is the recall just for old cars?

It boggles my mind, how this Takata story been going on for awhile now, but there are 2017 cars that fall under the recall. Specifically Audi TT 2016-2017 and 2017 Audi R8,

Any other Audi effected by recall?

Yes 🙁 Including Audi A6 Sedan, S6 and Avant from 2005-2011. Better make sure that you airbag is replaces as it simply too dangerous to drive as not only airbag doesn’t protect you, but can also hurt you.

2006-2013 Audi A3

2005-2008 Audi A4 Avant

2006-2009 Audi A4 Cabriolet

2005-2008 Audi A4 Sedan

2010-2011 Audi A5 Cabriolet

2003-2011 Audi A6 Avant

2005-2011 Audi A6 Sedan

2009-2012 Audi Q5

2017 Audi R8

2008 Audi RS 4 Cabriolet

2007-2008 Audi RS 4 Sedan

2005-2008 Audi S4 Avant

2007-2009 Audi S4 Cabriolet

2005-2008 Audi S4 Sedan

2010-2012 Audi S5 Cabriolet

2007-2011 Audi S6 Sedan

2016-2017 Audi TT

It might worthwhile to call the dealer and see if your car is eligible for a recall. If not how much it would cost to replace it. Probably around $2000-$3000, expensive, but your life is worth more.
