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

Hello, just wondering If anyone has done a headlight swap in the 2013 a3 8v to the 2013 Audi a3s line headlights and what have you done if you have done it and what I would need thx I appreciate the help

Hi, I have an A4 Avant 2012 S-line Black edition, TFSI. Owned it for about 8 months. It has 255/35 R19 rotor-style wheels/tyres. I like the look of them (and I have kept them absolutely pristine), but the car suffers quite a bit from tramlining. Everything else seems to be sound, the wheels are shod in Michelin PS3s and I've not heard that these tyres are particularly prone to tramlining compared to other tyres (quite the reverse it would seem). So I'm assuming it's just a characteristic of this specific wheel/tyre size. Despite them being head-turners, I've begrudgingly come to the conclusion that I place more value in the cars handling than it's looks (where they are mutually exclusive). I've got the option of a set of used 245/45 R18 s-line wheels (the 10-spoke ones - from an A6 I believe), plus tyres. They're in very good condition and the mid-range tyres still have about 6-7mm of tread. I can get them for a very good price (about half the price of 4 new Michelins on the 19s...) The 19s are due new tyres in the next 3 months or so. My main question is: can I just slap the 245/45 18s on in place of the 19s? simple maths says I can (I think), but am I missing anything? I've been told that I can from someone supposedly in the know, but I want to 100% sure, and be aware of all implications. If I can just swap them, I'm tempted to get the 18s with the deeper profile tyre, which should hopefully improve the tramlining. I'll store the 19s until I flog the car in 2 or 3 years time, and then put them back on, at which point they will still be in perfect condition and should be a big selling point at that time. I'd be grateful for some pointers from the experts on here, specifically in respect of the points highlighted in bold above. Many thanks, Chris.
