I'm at about 50k on a audi Q4 awd and outside of resetting the inspection light ever 10k miles, washer fluid monthly, and tires at 40k.
Pros: replaced tires
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 40000 km
Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????
Pros: money well spent
I just had a tire blow out on my RS6 and nothing like the article happened. You just replace the tire and reset the TPMS.
Pros: replace tire, reset TPMS
Vehicle:
Audi RS6
Drove the car in the snow storm over the weekend. Did not feel safe with the summer tires on. Also, front windshield wipers froze. Had to pull over twice to scrape the ice off the front windshield. Otherwise a nice SUV. Comfortable and very powerful. Time will tell about the reliability. Cheers
Pros: comfortable, powerful
Cons: unsafe in snow, wipers froze
Vehicle:
Audi
Aside from eating tires and brakes like they’re crabby patties, we’ve had zero issues on the car. Tires seem to go every 25 - 30K miles and we seem to be changing front brakes every 25K and rears at every 30K.
Pros: zero issues on car
Cons: eating tires and brakes
Vehicle:
Audi SQ7
Mileage: 42000 km
Other than that you will go through tires pretty rapidly(30k average) and brakes(50k average)
Cons: tires wear rapidly
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 30000 km
That is 25% of your contact with the road, and from the look of the breaks, a sporty car so a lot of power going down on that wheel. I would change immediately
Cons: change immediately
Vehicle:
Audi A5
Mot fail. Change it
Cons: MOT fail
Vehicle:
Audi A6
