Interesting. The Audi ones are showing @ £38 each so half price from SGS. Your question about the higher 390N strut is a good one and I hope someone can answer it to help me decide too

I have ordered GSC2546 so will post back with the results in a week or so. It's a shame these will be black and the Audi ones stainless finish but hey ho.

Perhaps you should’ve mentioned a group buy Snap as I think loads are after them??

I'll try them first, I did get some from them for my Passat bonnet years ago and TBH was not 100% happy as when I opened the bonnet, it would shoot up really fast and bang hard on the end-stop and a bit ugly too..

Fair enough. Are the stealer parts silver?

My Audi parts are silver and the SGS are black but they look OK on the car.
However they haven't made a scrap of difference to the boot not opening without a little help. What I will try next is removing some of the heavy stuff out of the toolbox on the underside of boot lid. Maybe I will stow these in the spare wheel.

Apologies All, I have not been concentrating on the forum for a few days.
The answer to this is the round black bumpers under the lip of the boot lid. There are two of them and what is needed is the spring loaded ones that are adjustable. I did a short note on these a couple of years back and where in Germany I purchased them. These are spring loaded and you can adjust them to vary the pressure released when the boot is opened. Too far out and the lid will not lock, it just reopens. Not far enough and the lid will not open. Just correct and the boot will jerk open a inch and then carry on driven by the motor. The first movement can be a loud click. Hope that makes some sense. I've been plagued the last couple of hot weather days with it sticking. Resolved it by adjusting the bumpers out a couple of turns.
