My car is in for a service today. Just had a call from the garage in Camberely to tell me the rear shocks are leaking One of them badly. Other than paying out £500 to renew them what are my options.

No reason to pay main dealer prices for woke done. Take it to a specialist and save a few quid. If you want to keep full audi service history, just get that done but supply your own parts. If they won't play ball, find another dealer.

Replace with coilovers if you had any intentions of lowering the car in the future?

Had the car serviced and the rear shocks replaced at Audi today I cannot speak highly enough of the service from Colbournes in Camberely They even delivered my car back to my house. Had good deal on th replacement shocks as Audi part funded them. All done for under £600. Curious as to why the shocks started leaking and if anyone else has come across this issue

Hmmmm, I've got my mot on Wednesday similar mileage to you, so I'll see if mine are leaking too ! Did you notice any change in the ride ? I've got the drive select dampers.
