Product Description

FCS 84989 is a hood lift support engineered for select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including Audi A6, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi Allroad Quattro, Audi RS6, Audi S6, and Volkswagen Passat applications. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length help identify the correct replacement for hood support service, especially when matching an existing gas strut by size and travel. For buyers searching for a hood lift support for 1998-2004 Audi A6 Quattro front applications or a 2002-2005 Volkswagen Passat hood strut, this part number provides a direct reference point.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and this hood support is cataloged under FCS 84989 for straightforward ordering and fitment lookup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and hood support position before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original support to confirm the correct replacement. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hood hardware for wear or damage before installation, and replace the support only after confirming the application matches the listed Audi and Volkswagen fitment.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84989 is cataloged as a fitment-specific replacement hood lift support for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications. Use the part number and dimensional specifications to confirm selection before installation.
