FAQs

What vehicles is the Febi Bilstein 47089 gas strut compatible with?

This gas strut is designed specifically for RENAULT Clio 4 and RENAULT Clio 4 Grandtour models. Always verify compatibility using your vehicle's VIN and checking against the OEM part numbers.

What does 'OE Matching Quality' mean?

'OE Matching Quality' means the part is manufactured to standards that meet or exceed those of the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring comparable performance and fit.

How do I know if I need to replace my bonnet gas struts?

Signs include the bonnet not staying open on its own, slowly dropping when raised, or requiring significant effort to keep open. If one strut is weak, it's often recommended to replace both for even support.

Is this part for the left or right side?

This specific part number (47089) is designed for the left side fitting position on the bonnet.

What are the main dimensions and force specifications?

The strut has a housing length of 217mm, overall length of 423mm, stroke of 150mm, and an extension force of 570N. Housing diameter is 18mm, piston rod diameter is 8mm, and mounting points diameter is 18mm.

Can I install this myself?

Installation typically requires basic automotive tools and mechanical knowledge. If you are not experienced, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting.

What are the interchange part numbers?

Interchange part numbers include 179951, 193915, 193917, 30723, and 38865.

Troubleshooting

Bonnet does not stay open after installation.

Ensure the strut is fully extended and securely attached at both mounting points. Verify that the correct part number for your vehicle model was purchased and installed on the correct side (left side in this case).

Strut is difficult to compress during installation.

Gas struts are under pressure and may require some force. However, if excessive force is needed, double-check that the strut is correctly aligned with the mounting points and that no obstructions are present. Do not force the strut if it feels misaligned.

Strut appears to be leaking gas or fluid.

If you observe any signs of leakage from the seals, the strut may be faulty and should not be used. Contact the retailer for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification:

Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle. Check your vehicle's original part numbers against the listed OEM numbers (65 47 012 10R, 65 47 039 34R) and interchange part numbers (179951, 193915, 193917, 30723, 38865). The fitting position is for the left side of the bonnet.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the bonnet is securely supported before removing the old gas strut.
  2. Locate the mounting points of the old strut on the bonnet and vehicle body.
  3. Carefully detach the old strut from its mounting points (this may involve prying clips or unscrewing bolts, depending on the original fitting).
  4. Align the new Febi Bilstein gas strut with the mounting points and attach it securely.
  5. Repeat for the other end of the strut.
  6. Test the operation of the bonnet to ensure smooth opening and closing.

*Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with automotive repairs.*

Care:

  • Keep the strut clean from dirt and debris, especially around the piston rod, to prevent damage to seals.
  • Avoid exposing the strut to excessive heat or corrosive substances.
  • Periodically check the mounting points for tightness.
