Manual tailgate gas struts

[Wibbly]

I have a 2015 1.4 COD 150ps 3-door s-line. Beginning of the year I replaced the tailgate gas struts with cheap ones that don't have the extra resistance as the tailgate fully opens so it does so with a nasty clunk unless I catch it. Feels like the something will crack or fail eventually if I leave it. Buyers remorse has set it and I want to replace them again with something that works properly.

Can anyone confirm the Audi part number for these please as I want to check compatibility/get a like for like alternative. Part number should be written on the Audi struts if you still have them. A photo will do. I think it's 8V3827552 but don't want to trust an AI response

Thanks in anticipation....

Anyone used StrutsDepot, by the way?

Offerings from Stabilus, Magneti Marelli or Monroe would be a good aftermarket alternative. (Most likely made by #1 or #2 OE anyway)

I have some self opening struts for sale if you are interested? They are made by Stabilus.

Edit: Ah just saw you have a 3 door, the struts I have are for a Sportback
