A6 C7 (2013) Ceramic brakes

Hi there!

I have a friend who has an Audi A6 C7 (2013) 3.0 V6 TDI and it has ceramic brakes. He told me that the car's previous owner was an Audi engineer in Germany and he put the ceramic brakes on it. Now, my friend possibly have a problem with the discs, because he might have micro damages on it. He wants to replace them, but the ceramic brakes cost a fortune, and way more than the whole car, so obviously he doesn't want that.


The question is: is it possible to swap the complete ceramic brake system (incl. discs, pads, calipers and everything) to a conventional/normal brake system? Or is it a big job? 

That would be nice to hear that he can just remove the ceramic set, and 'plug-and-play' the normal ones. I guess it's not that easy. :)

 

Thanks in advance, 
David

Should be as easy to downgrade a car as upgrade it - look at the original build label of the car (normally in trunk) and you will get brake specifics including OEM disk diameter - I would also have a little hope that it is only a disk and pad swap out as the calipers will run on a set diameter. 

Wish them luck from me.
