Hood gas struts — Volkswagen Golf VI alternative

Tags: #hood · #gas-strut · #part-number · #mazda-6-compat

Volkswagen Golf VI (2008–2012) hood struts as a cross-fit option (Feb 2026): the "RIGINAL"-brand hood gas strut (амортизатор/упор капота) made for the Volkswagen Golf VI (2008–2012), OEM reference 5K0823359C, was shared as a compatible option, sourced via an Ozon listing. Caution: a second owner who bought this part reports the holding force is weak — the strut does not hold the hood open with the same firmness as expected, suggesting this cross-fit is usable but not a fully equivalent replacement for a strong original strut ¹². See also the trunk lid gas struts card for the separate (and better documented) Volkswagen Tiguan-sourced trunk strut alternative — hood and trunk struts are different parts and not interchangeable with each other.
