I recently purchased a pair of "Stabilus" struts from Germany. They certainly don't allow the boot to open itself as soon as you pull the catch! I've been a bit saddened by that! So what type have you fitted, that DO assist the boot opening to that degree?The original ones lasted 16/17yrs so I'm pretty sure these will last the lifetime of me owning the car, I didn't realise how much of a difference new struts would make, The boot now opens itself as soon as you pull the catch. ?

it was just the length of them i was going to cross ref
After reading your post I ordered a set of these, I managed to get them fitted today and on first impression's they seem to work really well considering they only cost just under £17.50 for the pair, so even if they last half the time of genuine Audi struts they're still a good buy.

Reviving an old post.... I ordered a pair of these and just fitted them as my old struts were very weak. For sure they lift the tailgate very easily but they hit the stops rather abruptly at the top with a clunk rather than decelerating smoothly which was a bit disappointing. Has anyone else who bought them found this, guess it’s the price for not going the OEM route?
I ended up buying a set of febi bilstein ones (which in the febi bilstein packaging /bag were stabilus struts)Stabilus is an OEM supplier and made in Germany.
