Default Rear air suspension struts - are they all the same...

I have a leaking left rear suspension unit - I am not sure if it's the unit or the check valve but it sags overnight and I am pretty sure it's not the valve unit.
Is there any difference between the air units between Q7, Touareg and Cayenne. The part numbers are similar just the last revision letter changing between models so I suspect there may be a fair but of compatibility between models.

Mine is a late 2008 4.2tdi Sline.

I will try to get the part number fitted now tonight as a starting point.

Q7, Touareg and Cayenne, as far as I know, all use the same stuff. Arnott sells the same bag for each car (given the same generation). If it were me, I'd look and see if Arnott sells over in the UK, much cheaper than factory.

One thing I am trying to figure out right now, is how to get new dampers only. The bags on my '07 4.2 (gasser) appear to be fine, but it feels like I have a dead damper, which is to be expected after 94k miles.

What is the deal with the dampers, can they be replaced by themselves?
