Big surprise, my first response was deleted. Typical BS.

Anyway, as I was saying, I've been running these for years, on the Audi and my last 2 BMWs and they never threw a code. Until the "tuners"...

I had them done on both the X5M and the 750. They replaced the rotors on both. You can always tell, because the rotor hats get rusty and nasty.

Actually, a lot of the price they're charging must be labor, because the parts aren't that expensive

Rear Rotors (each)- $134 MSRP, $108 WS

I've never heard of a brake job being done without at least turning them. Trying to bed new pads on top of the crap left over from the old ones is guaranteed to kill them.

Audi, BMW, AMG, Porsche and SRT say that I'm right. Who do we believe, some no nothing shadetrees (if that), or a bunch of German engineers?

Like I said above, you shouldn't use new pads on used rotors. They either need to be replaced or turned. If they're too thin to be turned, then theres no option but to replace them.

Many...

I don't know the exact reason. The parking brake is electronic, so thats possible. Does the A6 have brake by wire, too?

Does Audi use very thin rotors? I know on my SRT8s you had to replace the pads and rotors as a set because the rotors couldn't be turned (drilled/slotted). I don't see that as being possible on the...

No, it was T-Mobile. Its ridiculous to go to any other brand. You get inferior service and end up paying more. $30 for unlimited 3G is unbeatable.

For 0-60 TC stays ON. I did tons of testing with this when I put on the ChipWerke module. The car is several tenths quicker with the system on.

As the others have said, I wouldn't get one that wasn't a Prestige. I also wouldn't get one that wasn't black. Out of those 2, I'd take neither. Keep looking for a better one.

Nightvision is a waste. Had it on the A6, have it on the 750, never used/use it on either. Only reason to get it is for the HUD.

They never noticed it on my car, but I removed the whole thing when I brought it in. Thats the beauty of a piggyback, you can install and remove it whenever you want.

I don't think it would be a problem. Ceramic brakes last a lot longer than steel ones. So although they cost way more to replace, they get replaced much less frequently. The guys on the Porsche board...

1-2 quarts in 3k miles isn't an issue? I'd beg to differ, especially when its sitting in the intake manifold and runners.

Depends how you drive it. My old A6 used about a quart between changes. If you drive it hard, its gonna use oil. All motors are like that. My Hemis used to use 1.5-2 quarts between changes too.
