Default 2013 A6 2.0T quattro brake caliper 1 or 2 pistons

I just bought a 2013 A6 2.0T quattro premium plus CPO car. The new CPO pads bleed dust all over 2 days after a wash. I want to replace the pads after 2000 miles because they were new in DEC 2015. The big question is are the front calipers dual piston or single. I ordered POWERSTOP 17 ceramic pad kits for the front and back from rockauto and the front pads sent are dual piston. I did choose the quattro selection when buying them. Any way to tell without me pulling a wheel off????

Both the front and rear calipers are single piston floating calipers.

Thanks for the info and those upgrades are more than this older retired guy can afford. Have fun with that ride.
