I'm responsible for the new q series OEM brake calipers (2015+) at my company, So I could get you pads and calipers if you'll just buy a new one..
I'm rocking the 1999, son. No way can I afford a new Audi. Plus, high end luxury cars are for people that take their car to the shop for everything. I only take mine to the shop for major repairs. Everything else I like to do myself. Never again. My next car will be a Subaru.

Or was it a typo and you meant 15 months?
I gathered that his complaint was not that a 15-year-old car was having mechanical problems, but rather that the difficulty of doing the repair was a major source of frustration. Of course, I've had my coffee.
^This. I expect problems with this car. I just don't expect the standard solution for a middling mechanical repair to be "Step 1, remove the entire front end of the vehicle." I suspect it is this way because either 1) Germans don't work on their own cars or 2) VW/Audi wants to make sure you have to take your car to their shop for repairs.
Either way I'm having no more of it. I'm going back to the Japanese.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
