Replace rotors at 56,000 miles ???
Hi,
Could someone confirm that it is not unusual to replace both front and back rotors at 56,000 miles already? The car is a family vehicle and has been driven conservatively. Model A6 Wagon 2001 2.8 L Quattro.
Thanks in advance.

My dealer replaced all the pads at 50K mi. At 119K mi. the rear
brakes started grinding. At 120K mi. the front pad indicator came on.
I had all the pads replaced without cutting the rotors. I have 125K mi.
and the brakes work OK. I used Beck/Arnley semi-metalic pads.

It's not that unusual to change the rotors @ almost 60kmi. Don't forget how heavy your car is, it's even more so, loaded with kids & kid gear. This will wear the brakes faster.
