Personally, I think that's ludicrous. I typically change rotors about every other pad change on my Porsche and BMW (haven't done the Audi yet), and that's what most owners do as well. I typically have plenty of rotor thickness left, even with a generous margin, after the second set of pads. On the Porsche, I often change pads before a track weekend, and at 38K miles, I'm still on the first set of rotors. Many people get 60K or more out of rotors. S6s are heavy though, so wear may be somewhat faster.

The dealers always have some excuse why they recommend rotors, but it's EXTREMELY unlikely that you need them at 14K, even if you do need new pads.

I've heard some have been able to get new rotors out of the 05 maint plan. I'd like to find out if there's anything I can do to get them to replace whatever is possible before my warranty runs out in Feb. Other experiences?

If this is the case and you have an 05, would it be reasonable to get new rotors at 4 yrs/38k on Audi?

there is usually a spec they go by, below a certain point replace above repair/shave. my wifeys subie was within the year/mileage of her maintenance plan however her rotors were not worn down enough so they shaved them to get rid of thumping/warping
