Benefits of Replacing Your Tailgate Gas Spring

1. Enhanced Safety: A properly functioning gas spring prevents the tailgate from slamming shut, protecting passengers and cargo.

Installation Overview

The installation process is straightforward for those familiar with basic automotive maintenance. Below is a step‑by‑step guide to help you replace the gas spring on your Seat Leon:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and open the tailgate fully.
2. Remove Old Spring: Locate the mounting brackets on the tailgate frame. Use a socket wrench to loosen the retaining bolts that secure the old spring. Carefully detach the spring, noting its orientation for correct reinstallation.
3. Install New Spring: Position the new Febi Bilstein 34113 unit in the same orientation as the removed one. Secure it with the retaining bolts, tightening to manufacturer specifications (typically 20–25 Nm).
4. Test Functionality: Close and open the tailgate several times to ensure smooth operation. Verify that the spring holds the gate at the desired height and that no excessive play is present.
5. Final Check: Inspect all mounting points for tightness, and confirm that the tailgate seals properly against the body when closed.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the gas spring annually for signs of wear or leakage.
