Key Functional Features

• Load Capacity: Engineered to handle the weight of a standard Golf hood while maintaining consistent pressure throughout the opening cycle.
• Temperature Resilience: Operates effectively from –40 °C to +80 °C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme climates.
• Corrosion Resistance: Constructed with a high‑strength alloy and coated with protective layers to resist rust and environmental degradation.
• Low Maintenance: Requires no lubrication or periodic servicing; the sealed design prevents fluid leakage.
• Compatibility: Fits all Golf VII variants, Golf Alltrack, Golf Van, and related models with a 2.0 L TDI, 1.6 L GTI, and other engine configurations.

Installation Overview

The installation process is straightforward for technicians familiar with hood suspension systems:

1. Remove the existing gas spring or support arm from the hood frame.
2. Align the mounting flange of the Lesjöfors 8095021 with the pre‑drilled holes on the hood and chassis.
3. Screw in the bolts, ensuring a torque specification of 80–100 Nm to secure the spring firmly.
4. Test the hood lift by opening it fully; the spring should provide smooth, controlled motion without excessive resistance.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: By maintaining a steady pressure on the hood, the gas spring reduces the risk of accidental closure during driving or parking.
• Improved Comfort: The spring’s damping characteristics minimize rattling and noise when the hood is opened or closed.
• Extended Lifespan: With a sealed design, the component resists wear from moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations, often exceeding 10 years of service life in typical use.
