I’m going to be the stodgy old guy who sticks with OEM at least one more time. Mine were done in 07 and have just developed a little dampness on the right front. Found a full set new from Audi for just under 2k. If this set lasts as long as the first I’ll be happy.

Maybe some of the veterans here know the answer to this. How many failures were do to poor installation procedures. I can see someone over pressurizing and blowing out seals real easy.

The guys who who have been servicing by car as of late seem very conscientious about their work and go by the book. What I’m worried about is if there is a book for them to follow with all the various steps to be followed.
