Just did this to my Giulietta using 45mm springs. Works like a charm. Used 40mm first but not strong enough. Thanks for this awesome practical DIY hack!

After some time the strain on the lock causes it to bend. Some people also reported deformations of the trunk cover, caused by the forces it must withold with those springs, while it's closed. Give it a year or two.

Would love to just buy both the hole rod assembled second hand, you could definitely earn a little seeling those in alfa groups

i have a 1.3 mito diesel ,any change in the dimension of the spring?Can you make one set for me (i pay for)

Does this not hurt the latch mechanism at the bottom? It seems like this way there's always a pull on the boot upwards. Basically you try to open it even if it's closed.

In case you haven't figured out yet, I might give a hint. I'm looking for springs for my own and found some similar on eBay by searching trunk strut spring for opening. Don't know which ones are to be preferred, but maybe it'll help you in your search😊

Hey, I did this to my Giulietta a couple months ago and worked like a charm. Recently it's not been opening by itself anymore. I changed the struts for new ones again and no luck. Any idea why?

@blyat420

Ай бұрын

Probably has something to do with the springs, they can lose gheir elasticity over time

what is the force of the hydraulic cylinders? Mine in 410 Nm are not sufficient, the trunk only opens halfway, maybe better with 420 Nm?

@arcgarage

Not really sure, but you either need stronger springs, or more powerful struts

But if you click the unlock button on the remote (not only the rear one) will not open the back automatically?

@Legend1315

No, unlocking the car normally makes it possible to open the boot by pressing on the badge but doesn't actually open it. There is one button specific for opening the boot that does the same as pressing the badge.

Is this also possible with only strong gas springs?

@arcgarage

Don't think it is

I have a problem on the Alfa 159. The switch for opening the fifth door when the temperature is 25 or more degrees C works perfectly, however, as the outside temperature drops when I press the switch, it takes more and more time for the door to open. Below 5 degrees C, the switch no longer works. otherwise, the door opens remotely without any problems. Also, below 5 degrees C, I can't open the car with the remote key. I enter the car with a mechanical key and after 10-15 minutes of driving, the central locking works. The car has a new battery. In summer, this problem does not exist. otherwise, the car starts in summer and winter without any problems. Help me.
