I noticed a fellow member recently replaced his gas filled boot struts.
So as mine were also rubbish I replaced mine yesterday. What a difference for 5 mins work.
Must be the easiest job on a RS6.

Yeah, I had to do mine a couple of years ago. It's amazing how heavy that boot lid is without lifting assistance.

Wondered if mine were knackered. I did notice it was a lot more effort to lift it.... but then I'm spoiled with a push button power lift on the other car

Yeah, I did wonder if I was getting weak, but when they give out completely opening the boot is like trying out for world's strongest man.

Think I might get mine done early then rather than waiting until they're properly knackered...

Yeah suz for about £28:00 well worth doing.

I could raise my boot fairly easily but when closing it went down far too harshly for my liking.

Where did you get them from please? Tempted to replace the bonnet strut also

Got mine off e bay. Just googled gas filled boot struts. There are loads of them for saloons and Avants.
Mine is a saloon.

SGS make their own, you can get them here, I was looking at a pair for my Avant..
