hello.

i own a 2006 5 doors fabia.

i want to ask you a simple Q about trunk pistons - in my car i have a trunk pistons with OEM 6YO827550 C.

will a trunk pistons with OEM 6YO827550 A will fit to my car?

and - what is the difference between C and A in the OEM.

 

thank you.

 

What is a Trunk Piston ?

Tailgate gas strut.

You learn something new every day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But not all of it is particularly useful...

It's not

 

6Y0827550A - it's - 6Y5827550A

 

The A are struts from the saloon version which are shorter...

thank you but i saw this in ebay:

in the bottom you can see- 

Manufacturer Part Number: 6Y0827550A

 

i just want to know (if you know...) if it will fit my fabia - now i have C and not A in the end.

thanks

Yep, I reckon that will be OK.  Probably just a part number that's been superceded for some reason.  If you look at cross-references for your second link, you get 7969MW as one equivalent. If you put that back into the ebay search box, the 'C' suffix version of the strut is in the title of the second listing.

 

Not 100% sure, but if it doesn't fit, it isn't what has been described in the listing

 

"2 Pieces OF Trunk Gate Lift Supports
 

(Pair LEFT + RIGHT)

Fits

Skoda Fabia (6Y2) 5-Door Hatchback from 1999!"

 

So you could legitimately send them back.
 

thank you Wino. i will do that
