I am nearing 200K miles on my C4 with no driveline problems. Relax. :-)
BUT the last quote in the above-referenced thread does bring up a concern. I would be leery about rolling diameters on your tires, front to back. That might cause excessive planetary gear motion in the diff, and that car had broken two of them in its lifetime. It's easy to imagine an owner having the wrong tire size and repeating the mistake over and over without understanding the ramifications...
IF a car was running at high speed in a situation like that, I could imagine the stress on that part being quite excessive. Maybe I'm stretching and being a glass-half-full guy, but that speaks to the actual reliability of the part in normal use.. no?
