I think 100-150k is the sweet spot for catastrophic failure! However, there are those who are getting 200k from a gearbox. The one on my S8 went at 112k (and then again at 118k less than 3 years later and 3 months after I got it, do NOT go to Driver Transmissions in Birmingham)

I believe Audi were replacing them under warranty as early as 40k
