Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 4, Golf IV, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Hydraulic pistons
Operation: Front hood support piston replacement

The piston supporting the front bonnet is actually a gas spring that tends to deteriorate over time and is no longer able to support the weight of the bonnet itself. Replacing it is very simple but it is preferable to carry out this maintenance in two: while one takes care of replacing the piston, the other supports the hood. It is therefore sufficient to extract the fixing tab of the spherical hinge and then the hinge itself, first in the lower part and then in the upper one; then apply the new piston making sure it is the same length as the original one.
