Default Cpo. Are the rear shocks covered?

The 2 rear shocks on my C6 are both leaking a little fluid. It does have air suspension and ecs tuning has each one at $568. Regular shocks are around $150.

My car should still be in CPO. Not sure if this is considered wear and tear and not covered.

Has anyone done this DIY?

Thanks,

Suspension is considered wear and tear. Not cover under CPO. I went into the same issue with Audi dealer. Called the Audi Customer hotline as well. Not cover!

Looks like an easy change but boy are they expensive. I called all the local auto supply warehouses and all say the only ones made aftermarket are for cars with no air suspensions.

Cheapest I have found so far is ECS tuning for $565 a piece. Fronts are similarly priced. Basically its a $2000 option and about it cost even more to replace the parts.
