Default A7 back absorbers problem

Hello,

I have an 2011 Audi A7 130k km and a one week ago when I've changed my brake pads I noticed some oil flowing from my back absorbers. The person from the audi service told me that I need to change them in a short time, but they charge me somewhere around 2000 euro in total, for 2 absorbers and for the service. I think it's pretty high, do you know any other solutions? where I can order them by myself, for example? And how urgent is to change them? Can i drive the car for another 1000 km?

Check with independant shops for better prices. You can drive the car. Nothing drastic is going to happen. It will feel the same as before you knew about the worn parts.
