Sory it's been a while since I was last on here. Given the age of the car now, I will probably need to become a regular.

The gas struts that allow the boot to open easily and remain open have failed. Should I look to fit genuine Audi ones or does anyone know who the OEM manufacturer is so I fit ones as good?

Mine is a manual boot opening, not automated, on an A4 Avant. The part number appears to be 8k9827552b015. I had a quick look online but there seems to be all manner of brands you can buy. Does it not matter what you buy or are some much better than others?

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated ��
