FAQs
What vehicles is the Quinton Hazell QTS828784 compatible with?
This bonnet gas strut is designed for specific Volvo XC40 (536) models with engine variants such as D3, D3 AWD, D4, D4 AWD, and D4 Polestar AWD, produced from late 2017 to late 2021. It is essential to verify fitment using the make model tool or by contacting support.
What are the main dimensions of this gas strut?
The strut has a length of 466 mm, a housing diameter of 18 mm, and a piston conrod diameter of 8 mm. It provides an eject force of 260 N and a stroke of 188 mm.
Do I need to replace both bonnet gas struts?
While this part is a direct replacement for one side, it is generally recommended to replace bonnet gas struts in pairs. This ensures balanced lifting, even wear, and optimal performance of the bonnet support system.
How do I know if my gas struts need replacing?
Signs include the bonnet not staying open on its own, closing unexpectedly, feeling much heavier than usual when lifting, or visible damage to the strut itself.
What does 'eject force' mean?
Eject force (measured in Newtons, N) is the amount of force the gas strut exerts to push the bonnet open. A force of 260 N means it provides significant assistance in lifting and holding the bonnet.
Can I install this myself?
Installation is usually straightforward for someone with basic mechanical experience and tools. However, if you are not comfortable with automotive repairs, it is best to have a professional mechanic install it for you.
Troubleshooting
Bonnet does not stay open after installation.
Ensure both struts are correctly installed and fully engaged at the mounting points. Verify that the correct part number (QTS828784) was purchased for your vehicle. If the issue persists, the new strut may be faulty or both struts may need replacement for balanced support.
Bonnet is difficult to close.
Check for any obstructions preventing the bonnet from closing. Ensure the struts are not damaged and that they are the correct ones for your vehicle. In some cases, slightly depressing the bonnet while operating the release latch can help.
Strut appears loose or is rattling.
Verify that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure that the strut is properly seated on its mounting studs or brackets. Loose fittings can cause noise and compromise safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this part, QTS828784, is compatible with your specific Volvo XC40 (536) model, engine (e.g., D3, D4, D4 Polestar AWD), and production date (late 2017 - late 2021). Use the provided make model tool or contact customer support with your vehicle's details.
Installation: Installation typically involves unbolting the old struts and bolting the new ones in place. This may require tools such as a wrench or socket set.

Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic if you are unsure about the installation process.
Care: This gas strut is a sealed unit and does not require user maintenance. Avoid applying lubricants or solvents to the strut shaft or seals, as this can damage the unit. Keep the mounting points clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
