Boot struts the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) � information on part operation, installation, diagnostics, and service intervals
Install safety supports, such as wooden sticks under the lid of the luggage compartment to lock it in the open position and prevent accidental closing.
Change the tailgate gas struts on the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) vehicle in pairs. The components have equal service life and are operated in similar conditions, so usually they wear out equally.
Before installing a new component, clean dirt from its seat and apply small amount of silicone-based grease to the contacting surfaces. It will not only facilitate installation of the gas struts, but will also protect fasteners from corrosion and jamming.
333ֱƽ̨ out in what position the VW PASSAT Variant (3B6) gas strut is to be installed: rod up or rod down. Typically, it is indicated by the manufacturer of the component on the strut itself. Due to incorrect positioning of the rod, the gas strut may fail to operate correctly, and may prematurely fail.
Pump the struts before installation. For this purpose, set them into working position, push the rod down until stop, hold it for a few seconds, then release. Repeat these manipulations at least 3-4 times. Pumping promotes uniform distribution of the working medium inside the component, reduces the risk of seals damage, and generally increases the service life of gas struts.
