Brake flush?

Looks like Audi schedules brake flush every 20k miles as part of normal service schedule. I take my Q5 to local VW dealer (Audi is 50 miles away) for routine service. Do you think it is necessary for me to get my brakes flushed every 20k miles? Does not seem as though other cars require this.

It's every two years, it's not mileage based., Wayne.

Ok yes that is correct. I drive ~10k per year so my 2 years is coming up. How important is it to do every 2 years?

Hit and miss on opinions. I do it every 2 years to the day, or earlier.

Don't risk your life (and the lives of others) for a $100 job. Hell, you aren't even driving a Civic!
