Thanks, freakdog.

My guess is the checks will come from the Settlement Administrator, a company that is being paid to perform these administrative functions.

Hopefully, before too long, we'll see.

Finally, I just received my settlement check today and while it did not cover everything, I was a reasonable 980 dollars.

Sounds low for a dealership replacement, did you supply the parts?
My local P dealer quoted $3200

Default I've Got Mine

The check that was in the mail just arrived at my office in Oklahoma City from the settlement administrator in Seattle, dated 2/4 and postmarked 2/8. The amount is $1,158.54, which is what I expected it to be.

I bought the CS new from the local dealer in May 2004. The coolant pipes failed in a big way in July 2013 at 61,703 miles. The dealer charged me $1448.18 for the repair job and according to the schedule provided to claimants I was entitled to 80% of that, which I received.

Incidentally I still have the CS and am struggling, as others are, with the question of when and/or how to replace it. I still like it, its only got 83,000 miles on it now, but I can see a trail of tears in its (and my) future.

Its amazing to see the differences in coolant tube replacement costs. P dealers around here are quoting $3K+. In this area its known as the N.VA tax.

When I asked the work shops why, the common response..."because we can get it"

An Indy shop with lower overhead replaced my tubes for $1200 but that included replacing the water pump and a 60K/mi. service inspection. I supplied the kit of parts for the tubes.

He did not understand my delight when I wrote that check.

Received my settlement check today. It's about 25% of my repair cost at a non-Porsche repair facility. $448 is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
