I have had the front rotors replaced twice because of this tendency.

In my humble opinion only BMW 3 series is a worse product (reminds me of a Fix Or Repair Daily because it is always BROKEN) and my wife and I are living that hell for another 8 months on our lease.

Suggestion
The wifey drives a 2.8L A4 Quattro - great car, I'm thinking of changing the suspension though, too floaty.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had a 2001 Audi TT 225hp, which I loved until it turned into a total lemon (14 weeks in the shop this year). So I sold it back to the dealer and bought a 996. My husband plans to sell his S4 Avant soon because the warranty is expiring in ~4K miles, and he's one warning light away from a multi-thousand dollar repair.
Currently own an A6 Quattro bi-turbo here (as well as other "fleet" members). Great car, driven it over the mountains in raging snow storms more than once, between Boston and Montreal.
Actually the rotors don't warp. What does happen is there is transfer of the break pad material to the rotor. This happens for a variety of reasons, see attached for a really good explanation.

I have had the front rotors replaced twice because of this tendency. There is something going on with the design that causes this in the Audi, but I don't know what it is......
In October of 2001, I traded my '95 993 for a '01 S4. It was a great car, powerful, GOBS of torque, and was beautiful inside and out. I even bought my wife a '02 A4 1.8TQ tip in March of '02. In May, I traded my S4 for a '01 C2. Just missed having a Porsche.
I've gone from 2002 2.7t 6spd to 2002 S6 Avant. Mom still driving her 99 A8. She's expressed passing interest in Cayenne, new A8L too big for her taste.
S4 and TT 225 coupe, both suxed. JK. Very boring, too heavy, not quick enough, decent interiors, but would take newer mercedes or porsche over any Audi.
I had a TT Quattro Coupe...it was slow and sucked horribly! So did Audi service (they were slow and sucked horribly)

Love Audis- driven them since '80. Have an A4 3.0QM company car and 01 TTR- quattro is fantastic in Iowa winters. All German fleet with my original 71 914, and GT3 in pre-production phase (oh boy!!!) Great cars
I have a 1997 A4 1.8T which I love and was trying not to part with. I got the 911 because, well.. such things don't require much explanation I suppose, but the A4 will be dearly missed.
David, I bought traded the 2.7t for the S6 in March of last year... have about 16k miles on the S6 now and am really enjoying it. Plenty of grunt for a wagon with decent handling for it's heft. I've had a deposit on an RS6 for many months, but I'm too happy with the wagon to go to a hot rod sedan... for the $ I can trade up my 99 C2 for a new C4S cab.
I love my 2002 allroad. I agree w/ the comment on the quality of the interior as it's extremely nice.
KLZ - nice A4 Avant! Initially, I was looking for a black Avant like yours. However, the local dealers here in SoCal didn't have them at the time so I opted for the allroad. It turned out for the better as the allroad is more spacious to hold my kids. But, I still love the look of the newer A4 Avants.
I had an '01 A6 2.7 Biturbo before my current '01 996TT. I absolutely loved the car. It had great looks, great power (considering the price and the fact that it's a sedan), and excellent craftsmanship compared to the 3 American cars I've owned. It was a very trouble free car for me. So why did I sell:
1. I could not find a dealer to provide me with a level of service I expect from a high-end German car (since most Audi dealers started as VW dealers).
2. The resale value absolutely tanked for no apparent reason (I lost nearly 40% in the 20 months I had the car).
3. My lease deal was setup for $720 a month payment, right before they came out with the $500/mo Audi-subsidized lease incentive (probably related to reason 2).
4. I really missed the feel of a sports car (I came out of a C5 Vette).
I would have another Audi in a heartbeat, as long as it had alot of POWER. I have driven the TT180 and the A4 1.8, and both of them feel like slugs compared to the A6 2.7T. I am sure that the RS6 rocks, but compared to the new E55, and considering its price, I don't think that Audi has the advantage it thinks it has. Now once they release their Turbo big-engine A8.....all I have to say is BMW & MB better look out.
