I am at 51k miles and the car has been rock solid.

Regarding the brakes - At my last service (35k) the dealer told me I needed brakes and tires.

The brakes had 3mm left. The tires were at 8/32. That's roughly 50% of the brakes left and 60% of the tire tread left.

I won't be doing either of them anytime soon.

It goes in for the 45k service on Monday. It will be interesting to see what they say.

I think I could have made it to 70k on my original brake pads. That's pretty typical for me though. The rotors were a different story... Glazed and chatty since 25k. On other cars they pulsed at the end of life. Dealerships have always suggested brake replacement when <5mm. I went with Bosch quietcast and akebono Euro pads as I was not happy with the Audi parts, at all.

good to hear my tdi issues aren't typical. Maybe they've got all the kinks worked out of mine now.

Just turned 60K yesterday. Front brakes only at 56K. Very solid car so far.
