To anyone following this with a US VW Clean Diesel, we applied on-line with Audi of America for our loyalty reward. For the affected vehicles VAG is offering $500 on a gift card to use anywhere, a $500 dealership voucher and 3 years of free roadside assistance. When the application comes we will have to take the car, proof of ownership and drivers license to the dealership to activate the reward. The website claims receiving the reward does not prevent owners from participating in future class action lawsuits.

We still love our 2011 A3 TDI but this was not an inexpensive car and we had planned to keep it for a long time. I hope whatever fix they develop for NOx levels at full throttle blasts doesn't ruin the things we love about this car. i.e. quiet comfort, loads of torque and better than average mpg.
