Function and application of the hood gas strut

The hood gas strut in the Tiguan is responsible for the controlled lifting and holding of the engine hood in a stable position. A properly selected component:

• facilitates access to the engine compartment during inspections and repairs,
• ensures smooth hood opening without jerking,
• minimizes stress on the hood hinges and mounts,
• increases safety when working on the vehicle by eliminating the need for additional supports.

Thanks to a design consistent with factory solutions, the strut works with the original mounting points, which translates into precise hood guidance and predictable behavior during opening and closing.

Compatibility and fitment for Volkswagen Tiguan 5N

The presented strut has been designed for the Tiguan 5N body in AD, BT, and BW variants, which allows for maintaining the correct operating characteristics of the hood in these versions. The appropriate working length, piston stroke, and gas force are selected to:

• ensure the correct opening height of the engine hood,
• maintain hood stability even with frequent use,
• limit stress on bodywork elements and hinges.

The original origin from the Volkswagen group means maintaining the manufacturer's quality standards, as well as consistency with other components of the hood opening system.

Performance characteristics and installation

The hood gas strut belongs to the group of wear-and-tear parts that lose their efficiency over time. Replacing it with a functional component restores:

• proper hood opening dynamics,
• stable holding of the hood in the upper position,
• convenience of operation during vehicle service.

The component is ready for installation in place of the factory strut, using the stock mounting points. This configuration promotes trouble-free installation in workshop or service conditions, without the need for body modifications.

Condition of the part and benefits of choosing an original

The offered strut comes from a group of used parts, which allows for economical repair while maintaining the original Volkswagen design. Compared to aftermarket replacements, the factory solution ensures:

• compliance with the factory hood operating characteristics,
• fitment to stock brackets and hinges,
• consistency with other body and equipment elements.
