Thanks @all -
I think the reason is...cause it's a daily driving car which is getting in contact with salt, water etc.
@Quattro_RS6 - so what has the refurbirsh company done with your calipers, and how much have you payed for?

Re: 420mm ceramic brake pistons
They only dismantled the pistons, cleaned and mounted new seals. The pistons was only cleaned and put back together.
That's what they atleast told me.. have no idea if they actually changed the seals or not..

Re: 420mm ceramic brake pistons
I had mine replaced with stainless steel ones.
They are cnc made and fit perfectly.
Works perfect even on track for one year now.
If somebody is interested I might be able to help you out.
PM me for details.

Re: 420mm ceramic brake pistons
Common problem with the design of the caliper, the pistons will seize up with age.
Ive got a new set of genuine pistons from Alcon if anyone wants them - not available from Audi.
Very easy to rebuild.
