An M3 owner talks about his S4

Given the exhuberant driving style (100mph on rural roads!?!), I can understand rapid turnover on pads. And new rotors every other pad change seems reasonable. But new front wheel bearings annually?

But I only did that because the throw-out bearing was gone, and I wasn't about to drop the tranny twice. When I got the disc back, it still had a good bit of the friction material still left on it. The E46 was running on the first set of pads AFAIK at almost 60K, and definitiely the first clutch. I am hearing rumblings that I cannot expect the same life out of the Audi clutch. Mark |
