Hey, has anyone had to replace the boot struts on a B9 sportback? Audi want nearly £900 and struggling to find anyone else who can get hold of the parts. The boot when open has been dropping a few inches for a while, and now does not always close when pressing the button so needs closed manually.

It might be Dan, I’ll get Audi to confirm the part number. Thanks

AUTODOC is definitely worth a punt, picked up a few things at vastly better prices. Can take a few days to arrive but easy compromise when paying that much less

Can’t find a part number on mine, but comparing the picture they don’t look the same. Could be worth a punt for £40 delivered though. My mechanic called round a few different parts companies he has used and none of them had the part listed.

The difference in price makes me think it’s not but if it’s worth trying before a more expensive part just in case I guess so. Can’t be just Audi that supply it so must be cheaper somewhere
