Bought it 2 months ago... worked great until one of the struts developed massive play. Now barely opens and squeaks every time I try to close the hatch. Bad reliability
they are super hit or miss.. ive seen some FLY open and look stupid as hell.. others barley open.. some open so slowly and not smooth some very hard to shut not worth it..just put your god damn shit down for a sec and open the trunk lol
I currently have the ECS hatch pop kit and it is way too aggressive. I don't know if you guys revised the struts in any way (the ones in this video look different) but mine opens way too forcefully.. any help or replacement would be greatly appreciated.
you could try trimming or compressing the springs on the strut itself a little at a timw till its where you want it, that all that really controls the speed. keep in mind though, the springs need to be strong enough for the hatch to open enough so that the strut then does the rest and opens it fully.
Had same issue. I took kit off cos It felt too aggressive and was worried it could damage car Ecs offered revised kit but I didn’t want it Issued refund So I can’t complain Would like to know if revised kit is less aggressive?? Anyone know please post Cheers
Hi, I've seen a couple reviews on UA-cam about your product and it says that the struts are pretty stong and they make the hatch open really fast and hit the hinges... just wanted to confirm if this problem has been resolved?
^^ Can confirm this. SO much effort to close it from the inside handles and my girlfriend is unable to close it at all. Id say its closer to 60% more effort
will this work for my daewoo lanos? seriously though, this was easier than I thought! I might pick up a set over the summer. can it be coded with OBDeleven?
We cannot confirm if OBDeleven works because we don't have it. If it can change the coding of the trunk latch to fully unlock with the key fob, then it should work in theory.
Hey guys got the Carista and it works great. I also bought a pop hatch kit but there isn't a coding option on the app. Is there a patch they can send me? If not I have friends with VCDS
If I unplug the Carista dongle after coding, will the coding still work? I’m planning on installing a COBB Accesport V3 but that uses the OBD II port as well. Thank you! EDIT: Nevermind. I just noticed that when I hold on the trunk button on the key fob it unlatches and I tested it by holding down the button and when it makes the electronic actuator sound I pulled on the rear wiper arm at the same time and it did open.
Got my kit it installed very easy Only thing it's not as soft opening as in this video I would say it's slightly aggressive when it reaches the point where it's fully open the car actually shakes with the force of it opening??? ECS is this normal? Or will it ease with time ?? Feeling like I'm abusing my car with this kit.

If you hold the boot button for 3 seconds on your key and the boot pops open then you don’t need to do any coding but some people’s doesn’t pop so it won’t spring open and that’s why the coding needs to be done to basically change the settings
This question has probably been asked already but i was curious to know if anyone with this kit, knows if VAG COM coding works on the 2018 GOLF R. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
We don't have the MK7 1.2 TSI Golf here in the USA so we can't confirm fitment, but it may fit since it is a MK7. Maybe someone else can chime in if they have installed the kit.
Paid £161gbp to have it delivered to 🇬🇧. Only to occur a £41,51 gbp charge over £200 So I got charged tax for the USA 🇺🇸 and tax for the 🇬🇧 ECS Tuning - I’m not very happy at all that’s a lot of money for the pop hatch struts
@@jaredoldhouser3301 you’ve woken up from your coma and though to reply of a comment that was left 2 years ago ? Lol 😂 they didn’t have them in the uk at the time yeah don’t worry lesson learned NOT to order of of my country so we all stick to our country things that’s the way the world is going anyway
for the mk5/6 you just need to purchase a set of struts meant for a skoda fabia mk1, remove the original struts, remove the brackets and rotate them 180 degrees then bolt them back in, fit the skoda gas strutts and you are done. then when you hold the boot unlock button your boot will open itself. they are a bit violent and stiff at first but soften up after a few months

Any promo code
I just realized who this was lmaoooo glad to see his involvement with cars before Donut
Just realized the same thing!!!
No wayyy I didn’t even notice
Easy install...done in 15-20 minutes. Initial hatch pop is not as aggressive as some have suggested. Force required to close hatch is fine. Good mod.
You’re the donut media, money pit guy!!
OMG ITS ZACH JOBE, OH HAS HE CHANGED
YO ITS ZACH
Money pit golf?
Why is coding required?

@@anthonymillar6183 So just use one strut.

Oooo, interesting, glad I read this before I ordered. It needs like a damping system really.
I don't know about opening but it is so strong that you must close grabbing by hatch door from outside
^^ Can confirm this. SO much effort to close it from the inside handles and my girlfriend is unable to close it at all. Id say its closer to 60% more effort
@@wowbest111 hahahahahaha
Has aggressive opening been resolved
Thanks
right... kinda scares me sometimes how fast it goes to pop then slow raise....
will this work for my daewoo lanos?

We cannot confirm if OBDeleven works because we don't have it. If it can change the coding of the trunk latch to fully unlock with the key fob, then it should work in theory.
Does this have to be done with the carista Dongle, or can it be done with any OBD2 scanner?

My left inner tail light is now crooked and not matching the outter tail light. What did I do wrong?
I just tried programming this with a OBD 2 and it says option is "not supported" - 2017 MK 7 GTI Sport. Any ideas why?
Dit IT works?
Can you do the coding with OBDEleven?
Yes you can!
great job bro thanks
Will it work on a 2018 Golf SW Canadian and use VCDS ? Thanks for your reply.
If I unplug the Carista dongle after coding, will the coding still work? I’m planning on installing a COBB Accesport V3 but that uses the OBD II port as well. Thank you!

How do I find out if I have to code it or it will work without coding ?
Got my kit it installed very easy
Only thing it's not as soft opening as in this video

Will this work on a mk7 estate/sportwagen not sure what you call it in the US of A?
Any idea why I can’t unscrew the stock bolts?!
Hi ~ I am looking for hatch pop kit for Golf MK7 1.2TSI (2012-2013). But In your website, I am not sure which type is it?
You don't have to have the odb carista thing connected to your car all the time do you?
Once the coding is done it can be disconnected.

Does this kit work for the MK7.5 R Wagon/Estate?
it should if the trunk is the same
Will this work with a Golf R Wagon/Variant?
Does this work on a 2014 golf r
Why does the coding have to be changed for a stronger spring opening?
If you hold the boot button for 3 seconds on your key and the boot pops open then you don’t need to do any coding but some people’s doesn’t pop so it won’t spring open and that’s why the coding needs to be done to basically change the settings
Does it work on A3 8V.5 ?
Boot rattles?
Donut!!
Now it’s super hard to close.

ECS Tuning - I’m not very happy at all that’s a lot of money for the pop hatch struts
So order one from you own country, how is it their fault you got taxed twice?......lmao

didnt like them at all. started to rust after less than a month. better without pop kit
Had this for a year on my alltrack. They failed completely. Product is not good at all.
These Hatch kits are garbage because they make the much more difficult to close
These are garbage as is makes the door much harder to close
Most useless mod ever
Hi! Can i found this kit for a Vw Touran 1t3 (2012), dsg, 1.6 tdi? Or some compatible kit which will fit??? Thanks a lot!
