My car has just over 100k miles which makes me worry. I like to accelerate somewhat hard (at least what I would consider hard). I drive about 20 miles each day and I probably floor it about once a month. I do a mixture of highway/city and every time I accelerate I rev it up to 3500rpm to 4500rpm. Am I hurting my car? I don't want to start burning oil or anything.

Also, my brakes have 6000 or 7000 miles and if I brake not hard but not lightly then I experience slight warping behavior. I'm confused because I don't even brake hard.

 

about the miles there is a problem with a leak in the 6th cylinder coil pack. have it checked out when you are replacing your spark plugs.

About your brakes did you change the rotors when u changed the pads? cause the early coupe brakes eat rotor as fast as the pads.

 

I drive 60 miles one way to work. I floor it 1 to 4 times on the way home every day. It is the rare occassion that I don't. Oh I have 146k on my car, original everything. 05 5at.

 

The rotors were replaced and still look new. After I floor it I feel very guilty, especially when I have to pass multiple times in one day.

 

^^lol what ever. i pass the same spanish kid on the corner everyday when i go to work and i love to rev it esp when he is on the phone. you are fine.

 

Rotors don't warp in the traditional sense. When you brake the rotors get hot. If the rotors get hot and you keep the pedal pressed, like at a stop light, pad material gets deposited in the spot they sat on the pad. This then causes a pulsing when the brakes are applied and the pads go over the material deposited on the rotors.

 

I have the occasional hard brake if the light turns quickly or something but never high speed hard braking. My engine burns about 1/2 quart between oil changes and the transmission is rough from park to reverse and 1st to 2nd when cold. ALL maintenance has been recently performed. Any input or am I just paranoid?

 

mine is the same way

 

05 Sedan AT and have 167K. I drive about 40 miles one way to work and haven't had any major problems.

 

How hard do you drive it?

 

06 5at with 100k got it with 60k and drove her hard from day one.
Had the 6th tube seal leak a few weeks ago but had the vc swapd out. That's it tho.

 

Even the compression rods?

 

Man, I thought I was paranoid, lol. This is pretty normal stuff for the G imo. Check the oil regularly. Keep up with the scheduled maintance and you should be good.

 

Haha, I forgot about those...of course I have had rotors, pads and other wear and tear items replaced

 

My compression rods were making noise each day on several different occasions so I took it to my mechanic and asked him to check them out. He inspected the whole thing and told me that the suspension in the car was in great shape, including the compression rod bushings. So I sprayed some heavy duty lubricant in there and the noises have been gone for 4+ months now. Obviously the bushings don't need replacing, they just needed lubrication.
