45k service (31K actual) last week on 9.28.16. What a difference 4 years makes...I love it more today then the day I brought it home. I thought, several times about trading up to an S7, but I'd have missed out on all of the fun of truly making it mine!
I call it the A7plus. Lol!

Happy anniversary!

I just took my 2012 A7 in for the 45K service two days ago. I have 26K on the clock but the Audi Care time was running out.

Spent four hours today learning how to change the drivers side brake rotor and pads. It takes time to learn what tools work and what quirks Audi has engineered into it's design.

Any tricks/tips you can share? I changed the rotors/pads on my S5, but will need to do my 2012 A7 probably soon.

Thanks! How have you kept the miles so low? I travel for work, and only drive the A7 8-9 months a year. I drive the C5 A6 in winter.

My Audi care has now run it's course too.

My 2014 A7 only has 17,000 miles. It sits during the winter months.

I'm planning on keeping it a long time and then I will be selling it to one of my best friends. The only way I won't keep it a long time is if they don't screw up the redesign to get all the technology like what I have in my Q7.
