Default 2002 A4- Warranty Expires in 7 days

My service contract for my '02 Audi A4 ends in a week and I am wondering if there is anything I should ask them to check or *replace* as it's my last chance to get it done for free.

My knowledge on cars is very limited, so any help from forum members will be highly appreciated. If there are any known issues with this model or anything that you'd get it replaced before the warranty expires, please let me know. I have small things like wiper blades on my list of things to ask to be replaced, but if there are other parts that are often overlooked or can be replaced I'd like to know. Thank you in advance for your help.

Rear brake pads and rotors. Mine wore out before the fronts did.

"My knowledge on cars is very limited..." You should get an extended warranty.

Default Dump the car. This is an audi not a honda. Common failures? transmission, engine...

due to oil sludge (assuming you or the person before you went 10K miles on the oil), timing belts break, clutches go out, switches stop working, wheel bearings always go out, MAF sensors go out, coilpacks malfunction, headlight washer pumps leak like sivs, wiper motors die, display screens in the dashboard lose pixels, power steering pumps go bad and the racks leak like sivs, if you are a turbo that plan on replacing various vacuum and boost hoses every year for the rest of your life as they all start to disintegrate...in that case BPV failures, N75 valve failures. Dont forget the German "soft paint" and the windshields that pit from too large of a dust particle hitting them.

Sorry, I have had my car in the shop three times in the past three months at 59K miles. Several grand worth of repairs. I would never own an audi out of warranty unless it was an old beater I could afford to replace parts on.
