so i read on the forums that audi care covers brake fluid changes and that they recommend it every 2 years.
it's been exactly 2 years since the date of purchase but my next service isn't until June of this year or 25k miles. the car right now has 20k miles. So do I go in for service now to get the brake fluid done or will they honor it at 25k miles/June?
Can they do the brake fluid now and do the rest at 25k?

You can have it done now if you want, but there's no rush. They will do it at the next service interval.

You can wait for your next service, but for your next car, the 2-year rule applies from the date of manufacture, not the date of sale, so you know. But in dry climates, it's less of an issue than humid ones, for obvious reasons, since moisture absorption is the main reason to replace brake fluid.

Yes, at 35k if you have a dsg, my dealer did the brake flush at 15k [confused].. whatever it’s free anyway

Audi care will change brake fluid twice if you get the first one done just before the two-year mark.
My A7 was used and the previous owner went over the two-year mark and Audi service refused to change it again at the four-year service.
