    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 ��

    Thats great, thanks ever so much. I've managed to find them on the buy car parts website - febi number 31666 if anyone needs the code. I'll get the, ordered in the next couple of days and fit them.

    Thanks Crasher. Buycarparts.co.uk have them at £37.20 for the pair (including a 15% off offer), product code 31666. Just trying to see how much their carriage is. It says free shipping on orders over £140 but doesn't say how much otherwise.
