Very nice find Jellybean,
Could you share the link to fleabay. All I'm getting are the china items and those take too long to get here.
Appreciate the service.
Kind regards
Duncan
Hello John,First time I saw this was about 3 years ago done on an Audi A3.
Can anyone give me the under diameter of the springs? I’ll measure my struts with the vernier
Ian, I don't doubt that your struts will open the boot, but do they have damping as they approach full extension to avoid hinge damage?We can supply really great new gas struts at £16.63 each

Hi, you are correct that these are not listed for A2's. The force rating is higher than A2 struts, intended for steel doors. Hence the red spring just pings the door, and the force of the rams lift it.Hello,
I looked for these FEBI BILSTEIN 23380 on eBay. I have found them but when checking compatibility
the eBay says " This item doesn't fit Audi A2 2004 Petrol Hatchback 1.6 FSI FWD -- 8Z0 1598cc 81KW 110HP BAD."
I assume it is impossible because hardly the struts are made differently for a diesel and for a petrol A2s.
Yet, still would like to check with you.
Thanks!
That is a good question that I do not know the answer to................. YETIan, I don't doubt that your struts will open the boot, but do they have damping as they approach full extension to avoid hinge damage?

Grip the rod with pipe grips, then the plastic end with pliers and just unscrew. They are on pretty tight!This looks like a great upgrade .
How did you get the ros ends off?
