Default Expected maintenance

My 06' S has been in service for 30 months w/ 20,000 mi. Problem free so far. What should I expect in terms of normal wear items..brakes/rotors etc...
Thx

Brake pads I would think for sure.

Tires and Pads, NOT rotors, don't believe them if they say you do.

+1

If they claim rotors, make them show you the actual measurements vs spec.

A quick search here will yield the rotor thickness specs.


And, BTW, when you hit 40k, Save the $1k, and do the oil, air filters, cabin filters and brake fluid flush yourself.

For maintenance items, these cars are easy to work on.

+2. I haven't replaced rotors ever with 72+K in the beta and 33+K in the Tit.S BTW, didn't need pads until almost 50K miles on the beta and rotors were well within tolerances (and AL is very hilly) and still no brake "idiot" light yet on the Tit.S. Brakes are a very strong point on the Cayenne.

Idiot light came on for the fronts at 40K. Stop and go LA traffic.

My brakes needed to be replaced at about 40K also. I also did pads only on all four wheels, and my rotors were well within spec.
