Detailed Description

URO 8L0823359 is a hood lift support engineered for direct replacement on select Volkswagen body applications. It uses a high-pressure gas strut to help raise and hold the hood, while OE-style end fittings support a clean factory-style installation. This part cross-references URO-009353 and V10-2077 for the same application. Compatible With 1999-2001 Volkswagen Golf, 2000-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999-2001 Volkswagen Jetta, 2002-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2002 Volkswagen Jetta with chassis range thru 9C-2-112000, and 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio with chassis range from 1E-XM806131.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak hood support that no longer holds the hood open securely
• Slow or uneven hood lift action
• Hood that drops unexpectedly during service
• Loss of original opening effort from a worn gas strut
• Leak-related failure in the existing hood lift support

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle chassis range before ordering, especially for 2002 Volkswagen Jetta and 1999 Volkswagen Cabrio applications. Compare the original support length and end fittings to confirm match before removal. Installation is typically straightforward on vehicles already equipped with OE-style mounting points. For best results, replace a worn support before it loses all holding force.

Quality Assurance

URO 8L0823359 is backed by a 24 Month Unlimited Mileage Warranty. The design uses a metal housing, durable piston rod assemblies, and low-friction sealing components to support consistent hood operation over time.
