Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-919219
Hold your hood up with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Hood Lift Support 3B-024339, a gas-charged support with dynamic damping speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2001 Audi A4, 1996-2001 Audi A4 Quattro and 2000-2002 Audi S4 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fit. This unit measures 28.43 inches and is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
Dynamic damping: A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, delivering a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Gentle stop: The groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled, low-impact stop.
Corrosion resistance: Part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
Easy install: Installs with no special tools; for best results replace in pairs.
If a worn support that no longer holds the hood or opens sluggishly is the cause of your trouble, this replaces it.

What vehicles does this hood lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2001 Audi A4, 1996-2001 Audi A4 Quattro and 2000-2002 Audi S4. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
How does the dynamic damping work?
A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Should I replace both supports at once?
For best results the manufacturer recommends replacing them in pairs so both sides open and hold with matched, consistent motion.
Are any special tools needed to install it?
No. This lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Always follow the vehicle service procedure.
What are signs this hood lift support may need replacing?
A hood that won't stay up, drops on its own, or opens slowly or with jerky motion can indicate a worn support. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
