Hi all,
Replaced rear right caliper the other day as the old one had seized. Fitted a new one from AF, bled it with a one-way valve and all seemed fine until driving it and it feels like the pedal has a bit more travel and is a bit softer than before.
I'm thinking I need to revisit the bleeding so just wanted to know if I will just need to do the caliper that I replaced, or all four as described in the Haynes and Bodsy's bible? '06 D3 TDV6 S Cairns Blue

If you let air into the system (as it sounds like you have) then bleed all 4.
When I swapped my callipers I did cheat and had my wife press the brake pedal when swapping so no air getting back into the system, and then pressurised reservoir, opened bleed valve and take foot of pedal. Worked for me. Wife got a bit grumpy.

For the sake of your safety bleed all 4 corner. Changing the brake fluid does not harm. Achim
