Update: the software modification for Phase 1 results in great mileage - nearly 40mpg in combined city/hwy driving - and the $4,622 check from VW is a nice bonus... also, we just got word that Bosch is going to send out a check for $350 for its part in the settlement - that's about 6,000 miles of free diesel for our 2015 Golf TDI S DSG Sportwagen! EXCELLENT!!! and sometime this year there will be a hardware sensor update which will net us another check for over $2,000!!! W00T!!!!

now we're just waiting for uploaded document approval and Oct. 18th...
