Default Svc. manual says change brake fluid every 24 months - anyone done it yet ?
Last week was two years for me.

Also, for the TT replacing timing belt suggested around 100,000 miles but A4 1.8T is way less than that around 70k I think.

Any thoughts on this since I'm approaching 60K

Brake fluid absorbs moisture, proper term could be renew.

Default Sure they have. I'm at 23 months and there are people that have had
their cars months longer than me.

Default I have too. Dealer did it at my last service.
They did a 30k service because of the amount of time I've had the car.

Default Service chart at dealer says 20,000 miles for 2000 180 Coupe.
They did mine at 20K, which was actually at 19K, right before my last track event.
