Umm, my 2015 Passat TDI 2.0 has been fixed and passes US and California emissions tests. This cost me nothing (and VW lent me a Tuareg while it was happening, so it didn't inconvenience me much, either).
The checks from VW and Bosch totalling roughly 25% of what I paid for the car new ) cleared, and the money is in my bank.
My car runs as well as ever, with no noticeable change to performance or fuel economy (although apparently it will consume more "AdBlue" now).
So as far as I can see, VW has fixed the problem and paid me a lot of cash, too.
I think this is the only car I've ever owned that appreciated in value!
