7L6827550N Gas Spring Boot

The 7L6827550N is a gas spring, typically used for automotive applications like the boot (trunk) lid in certain Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche vehicles. This component is crucial for supporting the boot lid's weight, making it easier to open and close. It uses pressurized gas to create a counteracting force that aids in lifting the trunk or hatch.

Here are the key details:

1. Purpose: It supports and assists with the opening and closing of the boot lid. When activated, the gas spring helps to hold the boot lid open and ensures it doesn’t fall down unexpectedly.

2. Design: The gas spring consists of a cylinder filled with pressurized gas, typically nitrogen. This pressure pushes a piston inside the cylinder, generating force that aids the boot’s movement.

3. Fitment: The part number 7L6827550N is specific to certain vehicle models, so compatibility with your car’s make and model is important. It is often used in vehicles from the Volkswagen Group, particularly in SUVs or vehicles with larger boot lids.

4. Installation: Typically, installation involves removing the old gas spring and attaching the new one. It’s often secured with clips or brackets at both ends, with the gas spring mounted to the lid and the vehicle’s body.

5. Performance: Over time, the gas pressure can decrease, reducing the spring’s effectiveness. If the boot lid is not staying open or is hard to lift, it may be time to replace the gas spring.

For your specific vehicle, it's best to ensure that the part is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for the best fit and durability.
