Vehicle Application and Function

The presented gas spring is designed to work on both the right and left sides of the hood, making it easier to select the correct part when replacing a single unit or a set. It is responsible for controlled lifting and stable holding of the engine cover in the open position, reducing stress on the hinges and mounting components.

A properly selected gas actuator ensures:

• smooth, jerk-free hood opening,
• stable holding of the hood in the upper position,
• safe access to the engine compartment during servicing and inspections.

Construction and Technical Fitment

The Audi hood gas spring is constructed as a component that collaborates with the factory mounting points on the vehicle body and the engine cover. The appropriately selected gas force characteristic is matched to the hood's weight in the Q5 FY model, resulting in predictable behavior during opening and closing.

By using an original Audi part, the following are maintained:

• correct fit with mounting brackets,
• proper hood movement guidance throughout its entire range of operation,
• compatibility with the factory hinge geometry.

Item Condition and Service Application

The offered actuator is a used part, intended as a replacement for a worn or weakened component in the existing hood lifting system. It is suitable for standard operational replacement when the hood tự động lowers, opens with resistance, or does not maintain a stable position.

Replacing the gas spring is particularly recommended when:

• a noticeable decrease in supporting force is felt,
• the hood requires manual propping,
• disturbing noises occur during opening or closing.

Benefits of Using an Original Gas Spring

Using an original Audi actuator allows for maintaining the factory comfort of hood operation and reducing the risk of damage resulting from improper functioning of the support elements. Stable support of the engine cover enhances safety during service work and daily vehicle activities.
