Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The presented electric actuator is a component of the rear tailgate lifting system in Audi Q5 FY models, installed in the rear of the vehicle on both the left and right sides. It is responsible for stable tailgate guidance, motion control, and cooperation with the factory electric opening and closing system, which translates to convenient trunk operation both in city traffic and during longer journeys.

Construction and Technical Compatibility

The actuator is designed as an OEM Audi part, ensuring it retains factory mounting points and operating geometry tailored to the Q5 FY body structure. Appropriate stroke and lifting force parameters allow for harmonious cooperation with the tailgate hinges and control electronics, minimizing the risk of overloads and uneven operation.

The presence of dedicated part numbers and interchangeable numbers facilitates verification of compatibility with specific vehicle equipment versions and allows for selecting the correct part in case of modernization or replacement of a worn-out actuator.

Part Condition and Installation Aspects

The offered actuator is from the used original parts segment, allowing for consistency with the vehicle's factory specifications while optimizing repair costs. This type of component is intended for installation in place of the factory actuator, utilizing existing mounting points and the vehicle's electrical system.

When replacing, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of the tailgate hinges and mountings,
• verify the correct operation of the electrical system controlling the tailgate,
• perform adaptation or a functional test of the system after installation, according to Audi service procedures.

Benefits of Using an Original Actuator

Using an original electric actuator in the Audi Q5 FY ensures:

• factory fit to the tailgate and rear body structure,
• stable operation of the lifting system while maintaining manufacturer-specified parameters,
• consistency with safety and comfort systems responsible for tailgate operation.

Thanks to this, replacing a worn-out part with an original actuator from the same construction group allows for restoring proper tailgate function without interfering with other components.

Part Selection and Additional Information

To precisely select the actuator for a specific Audi Q5 FY version, it is advisable to use the OEM part number, interchangeable numbers, and manufacturer designations, and then compare them with the vehicle data. Information about the vehicle placement can also be helpful, clearly indicating that the part operates in the rear section of the body on the left and right sides.
