The brake pad warning went off in my '08 Cayenne this morning as it is just about to turn 30,000 miles. Does this sound normal based on your experience?

I think brake pad life is much like clutch life, depends on how you drive it and where you drive it. I'm no expert but I think 30k on the FRONTS is within the normal range. Don't expect to get 40 - 60k on a vehicle like this, it's not a Tahoe.

I have an '06 Cayenne Turbo S. It's got the big brake kit. I just had the pads changed at 70,000 miles. Didn't hit the warning sensors yet but figured I was living on borrowed time. Rotors still good, too. Impressive.

The standard brakes range from 20-40k on pad life, depends on driver, location, traffic etc.
PCCB brakes last significantly longer.

always watch your brake pads. At every oil change or 20k miles I would have a quick inspection at least on the front. Its much safer to just put on new pads then replace the pads and rotors. Went from paying 1200 a pop to 500 front and back. Very happy pig owner .
