Audi A3 Hood Struts: Common Issues You May Encounter

  • Sudden Closure: If your hood unexpectedly slams shut, it’s a sign that the struts can no longer support the weight, indicating a loss of internal pressure.
  • Visible Damage: Any signs of physical damage like oil leakage, rust, cracks, or bending mean that the struts are compromised and should be replaced immediately.
