But never the brake lamps. I had automatic gear, so that is the same with yours I assume.
I drove over 100,000 miles in that car and it swallowed H1 headlamps all the time.
I assume this came by the vibration of the 1.9 TDI diesel engine.
My current car 2006 VW Passat Variant 1.9 TDI (manual gear) did not consume any lamp since new now being 1 year and 2 months old and 55,000 Km - ~ 40,000 miles.
The rear lights are very nice looking LED standard, so I expect none to minimal failure at that point.
Besides the manual gear, I do not miss anything from the Audi - great car this VW!

My A4 is actually a six-speed manual, Hans.... I MUCH prefer manual over automatic transmissions..... But my Honda Odyssey minivan is an automatic, and a very nice 5-speed auto at that, with downshifts and all.....
