DRC replacement question

Ok so my DRC on the near side rear has shat its self after 20k, Audi are replacing it tomorrow, they said they're only doing one side and the opposing front shock.
Should they not be replacing all DRC components? It would make sense to do this, as the other side could go t!ts up after another 1k. The technician said they only replace the leaking ones, is this correct or are my local branch numbnuts?

Most dealers only replacing the leaking ones.

My rear passenger just went, but the front two are both 'sweating' from the top.. I'm wondering what I will be told... But an independent garage told me the front two are likely to be on their way out... otherwise why would they be leaking. I have 2 months left of the 5 years... eeek!

Same here, "sweating" front shocks; all pressurized and deemed fine and well within tolernaces. My DRC runs out in Jun so concerned too! Not much we can do really - unless they can be made to fail??
