A6 4F Allroad rear air suspension

[adrianlle]

Hi Everybody, I'm a newbie here so please forgive if old ground. 2007 4F Allroad ( 96K miles ) just had an mot advisory of weeping around rear shockabsorber. Apparently not the airspring but the shock absorber- didn't know it had these as well as airspring. Audi want £566 plus vat each for them!! Cant seem to find any info anywhere on a cheaper replacement, inc german sites. Can anybody help?

Same issue except MOT did not see it
Keep looking on ebay

Don't think there will be much in the way of after market but only place I can think of is GSF just punch it in to google and put the reg in and see what they list.

If it's just an advisory leave it.

From what I have read this is very very common - I think I read somewhere that Audi regard this as normal.

I've had a few advisories for the same thing but they listed it as 'nearside rear shock absorber has a light misting of oil'.
