Hold your hood open with a firm, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 2B-024208, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control and a 28.07-inch length. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2011 SEAT A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2004-2009 Audi S4, and 2011 SEAT Exeo — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
Built on Stabilus Lift-O-Mat technology, this strut uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with damping tuned for this application; the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- OE-based design: based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
- Easy installation: installs with no special tools required.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this hood lift support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that holds the hood open and controls its opening motion. The dynamic damping provides a fluid motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Which vehicles does the 2B-024208 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2011 SEAT A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2004-2009 Audi S4, and 2011 SEAT Exeo. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the hood evenly.
How long is this lift support?
This lift support has a length of 28.07 inches, based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
What makes Lift-O-Mat damping different?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston with tuned extension speed; the groove narrows toward the stroke's end for a gentle, controlled stop.
