Fantastic in depth video, so thank you

[@DankosDIY]

Hope it helped. I'm always trying to give what I want to see 😊

@@DankosDIYI’ve got the same problem on the left strut on a C4 Picasso, sounds like there’s a rubber seal that’s trapped and then moves but now I’ve seen your video I’m not so sure. Brose is the make of mine. On a different note, you don’t have a woodworking channel on KZbin do you as your voice is very familiar?

@@marksneyd1262 no, haha I can't do nothing with wood. 😂

How did you remove the cover?

[@DankosDIY]

You have to heat up the glue with heat gun to the point where it becomes liquid so very hot and slide it off.

@@DankosDIY Zapytam wprost, czy w Skodzie Kombi i Hatchbacku są te same siłowniki używane tzn. czy są tej samej długości. Mam Hatchbacka a w handlu widzę tylko do Kombi.

My tailgates seem to work fine make noise while moving l, what might the issue?

[@DankosDIY]

Motors running dry. That's the beginning of the end. Would be worth taking them apart and cleaning and lubricating them before they die. I repaired left one and week later right one died. Regards.

[@stega1]

I am at square zero.I detached the piston from the tailgate but the cable doesn't come out and I don't understand where I need to access to detach the connector, can you point me in the right direction?

[@DankosDIY]

The connections are located being the cover for the last pillar. Last vertical pillar has cover over it remove it plugs are there.

[@stega1]

@@DankosDIY hi thanks a lot for your quick reply. Anyway Not sure what you mean for "last pillar"" is it somewhere within the truck.

[@DankosDIY]

@@stega1 what car is it that you working on?

[@stega1]

@@DankosDIY audi A5 Sportback 2017

[@DankosDIY]

@@stega1 wiring in that is probably attached to the roof I assume you have to take the roof lining down a bit to get to the wires.

Happy that I could help. 😉

I wanted to update my 2004 A 6 allroad but I was told it wasn't updatable 😢

[@DankosDIY]

I would remove the covers from the boot pillars and check if there are any wiring connections. Most vag cars have same wiring loom but they just waiting for someone who will spend money. So u might have all the wiring ready for the investment. I would check. Let me know. How u get on.

[@prinos1410]

You are a genius youtube.com/@DankosDIY I will try this now. Did you have to do any reset procedure when you mounted back in the car? if so, could you describe please. I dont have a VAG, is it need it to reinstall ? thanks a lot.

[@DankosDIY]

Hi mate no there is no reset procedure. Mount them on and press the button as long as u done everything correctly they should go up and down no problem. Let me know how you get on. Regards.
