    Avant Rear Tailgate Struts - Where to buy ?

    As per the title, wanted to buy Lift-O-Mat ones (oem) or Febi struts from a motor factors rather than a dealer.

    Bought a front Febi, (part # 28556 - €24.73 plus vat), strut for the bonnet (oem part # 8A0 823 360 A ) ( ? ).

    Ebay generally doesn't give the brand name of what they're selling. Had a pair of rear tailgate SAG branded ones which were dreadful. Very stiff and jerky in use, compared to what they should have been.

    Thanks for any feedback or comments.

        Benntenn67, thanks for the link, looks good, will try it out once the motor factors over here comes back with a negative reply in relation to them being able to obtain a pair of Febi tailgate struts.

        Kind regards.

                The cheap ones I put on the tailgate of my RS2 used to jump off and hit the body work. I got really quick at catching them. The ones from the main dealer I replaced them with were fine and so much better for my nerves.

                  as i had said,we are a manufacturer from China,so the price is more competetive.our products are mainly exported to SOURTH AND NORTH AMERICAN ,european,southeast asia.
                  1)wonderful painting,has rectangular distribution and flatness on the surface.
                  2)excellent tightness and precision,gurantee the quanlity and safty
                  3)smoothly operation,no niose
                  4)through more than 50,000 times reciprocating durability test,long lifespan
                  there is no need to worry about the quality.we can also offer a sample for testing.
