    Key lock in dashboard - 34k - replaced under warranty
    Fuel filler cap cover latch - 45k - replaced under warranty
    Single track in heated rear windscreen failed - 50k - replaced under warranty
    DPF sensor failure - 65k - replaced under warranty (still under three years old)
    New clutch and DMF - 85k - work carried out by Indy for approx £1000
    Front brake pads - 115k - £159
    Rear brake discs and pads - 140k - £309
    Front offside wheel bearing - 155k - £250
    Emission control warning light on dash and traced to throttle flap leaking oil, replaced - 167k - £350

    Always serviced by an Audi dealer and work carried out as recommended.
    A lot of those are wear and tear items, complaining about needing to change brake discs and pads is likely complaining your car needed new tyres. Nothing has gone "wrong" with the brakes, they simply reached the end of their life as brakes do

    But those (brakes & pads) are the only "wear & tear" items. The rest are all failures, witness the number fixed under warranty. And FWW I don't think the OP was "complaining" at all.

    Fair Point, I shouldn't have mentioned those wear and tear items in the same breath as the other issues. Actually, to have only replaced that limited number of wear and tear items after the mileage I have done is not bad going. I would not include the clutch/DMF replacement as wear and tear though because on inspection after removal the clutch material was not worn and the issue appeared to be with the pressure plate spring.

    the guy has just had to fork out 8 grand to fix his car, if he wants to moan about some discs and pads then let him moan. in fact, he can moan about having to replace a lightbulb if he wants.

    You just have to be careful a slip of the tongue can leave a nasty taste in the mouth.
