FAQs

What vehicles is the Monroe ML5746 gas strut compatible with?

This gas strut is designed for Audi A6 Avant (4F5, C6) and A6 Allroad (4FH, C6) models manufactured between May 2006 and May 2009, specifically the A6 Allroad Quattro and A6 Quattro variants.

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

Symptoms include the boot not staying open on its own, closing slowly or unexpectedly, or feeling significantly heavier to lift than usual.

Should I replace both boot gas struts at the same time?

It is generally recommended to replace gas struts in pairs. This ensures balanced lifting force and consistent operation of the tailgate.

What are the dimensions of this gas strut?

The strut has a length of 475mm, a cylinder bore of 18.5mm, a stroke of 184mm, and an eject force of 650N. The standpipe diameter is 8mm.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is typically straightforward for individuals with basic mechanical knowledge. However, it's crucial to support the tailgate securely before removal and to ensure proper alignment during installation.

How long do these gas struts typically last?

The lifespan varies depending on usage and environmental conditions, but the high-strength piston seal and superior rod finish are designed to enhance durability and longevity compared to standard struts.

What is the Eject Force [N] rating?

The Eject Force is 650 Newtons, indicating the amount of force the strut provides to assist in lifting the tailgate.

Troubleshooting

Boot won't stay open or closes too quickly

This usually indicates the gas strut has lost pressure. Ensure it is correctly installed and compatible with your vehicle. If the issue persists, the strut may need replacement.

Strut is difficult to compress or extend during installation

Ensure no obstructions are present and that the strut is aligned correctly with the mounting points. Do not force the strut; verify compatibility and check for any binding.

Noise (squeaking or grinding) from the strut

Inspect the strut rod and seal for dirt or damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If the noise persists, the internal components may be worn, and the strut may require replacement.

Strut appears loose at mounting points

Check that all retaining clips or screws are properly secured. Ensure the mounting bracket on the vehicle is not damaged or corroded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This strut is specifically designed for Audi A6 Avant (4F5, C6) and A6 Allroad (4FH, C6) models, manufactured between May 2006 and May 2009. Verify your vehicle's Make, Model, Year, and specific trim (e.g., A6 Allroad Quattro, A6 Quattro) against the product description before purchase.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the parking brake engaged.
  2. Locate the existing gas struts on your vehicle's boot or cargo area.
  3. Support the tailgate securely before removing the old struts, as it may fall if not properly braced.
  4. Carefully unclip or unscrew the old struts from their mounting points.
  5. Align the new Monroe ML5746 strut with the mounting points and secure it firmly.
  6. Repeat for the other side if replacing a pair.
  7. Test the operation of the tailgate to ensure smooth opening and closing.

Care: Gas struts generally require minimal care. Periodically inspect the rod and seal for any visible damage, dirt, or debris. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the seal. Ensure the mounting points remain clean and free of corrosion for optimal performance.
