Description
xShop Now Genuine Bentley Damper Online – Part 3W0823359C
The Genuine Bentley Damper 3W0823359C is an OEM bonnet gas strut designed to support and lift the engine hood smoothly and securely. This part is specifically engineered for selected early-generation Continental models and ensures stable bonnet operation during opening and closing.
Manufactured to original factory specifications by Bentley, this damper provides the correct pressure rating and fitment required for luxury vehicles. A properly functioning bonnet strut is important not only for convenience but also for safety. When the gas strut weakens, the bonnet may not stay open correctly, which can create inconvenience during maintenance or inspections.
This OEM Bentley gas strut is built using high-quality internal seals and durable materials to handle repeated lifting cycles and varying temperature conditions. It offers controlled extension and compression, helping protect bonnet hinges and mounting points from unnecessary stress.
Over time, bonnet dampers naturally lose pressure due to regular use and environmental exposure. Replacing a worn damper with a genuine part like 3W0823359C restores proper hood support and maintains the original driving experience expected from a Bentley vehicle.
At Europeanautospares, we supply genuine Bentley spare parts that meet original engineering standards. This ensures accurate fitment without modification, trimming, or adjustment during installation.

Crewe Coachwork & Heavyweight Bonnet Counterbalance Service Notice
This professional-grade, high-pressure hydraulic gas lift strut assembly, featuring dual steel ball-socket end fittings and an integrated internal slow-stop hydraulic cushion, is engineered strictly for the front bonnet (engine hood) hinges of first-generation Bentley Continental and Flying Spur variants built on the modular 3W chassis platform. Mounted symmetrically along the interior structural rain channels of the front fenders, these heavy-duty stays provide smooth mechanical counterweight lift and hold the large steel and aluminum hood assembly safely extended at full height during routine engine maintenance.
Critical Newton Metric Force and Structural Safety Warnings: Collision repair specialists, detailing shops, and master technicians must respect the extreme kinetic weight limits engineered into the first-generation Continental hood layout. Because this large panel must shield a wide, heavy 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine layout, its underlying frame integrates dual-layer steel sound-deadening barriers, thick composite heat shield blankets, and structural structural latch bars, making the total assembly exceptionally heavy compared to standard passenger cars.
... Never use low-tier, universal multi-fit aftermarket gas rods or attempt to install unmatched part numbers across these hinges. Sourcing a sub-tier or under-charged stay introduces severe bodily injury and vehicle damage hazards. If the internal gas pressure drops below factory-calibrated thresholds—especially during winter servicing where sub-zero ambient drop-offs shrink internal gas volumes—the cylinders will fail to support the bonnet at full extension. This drop in pressure causes the massive hood panel to crash down abruptly, easily fracturing a technician's limbs, breaking fragile twin-turbo vacuum lines, or smashing the vehicle's expensive glass-housed front headlamp modules. Conversely, over-charged rods place excess upward shear stress on the cast-alloy firewall hinge pockets, twisting the panel out of alignment and inducing uneven body gaps.
Service, Prop Support & Clip Separation Best Practices: Replacing a front hood gas strut requires securing the bonnet fully open using an independent, padded safety prop bar placed firmly against a structural radiator core radiator point. Never assume that one remaining old gas stay will support the hood's weight while you extract the opposite side cylinder; detaching one stay will instantly overload the remaining worn shock, causing the panel to fall immediately.
Establish direct workspace clearance along the ball-head mount fittings. Technicians must use a slim, non-tapered flat-blade precision pick or small screwdriver to slide the semi-circular spring steel retaining clips just enough to disengage the internal locking ring detent. Never fully yank or pry the spring clip entirely off the socket collar; if the clip shoots loose and flies into the compact rear crevices of the W12 engine bay, it is nearly impossible to retrieve without dropping bottom aero shields.
Pull the socket head straight out parallel from its upper and lower ball-stud anchors. Wire-brush calcified road de-icing scale and oxidized factory grease off the male chassis ball studs, checking that the stud threads remain tight into the body panel. Lightly pack the socket interiors of the new struts with high-viscosity synthetic lithium grease to ensure smooth articulation over time. Push the new cylinder socket straight onto the ball stud until a distinct mechanical snap confirms the spring clip has latched closed around the ball. Gently slide out your temporary prop support, lower the hood past halfway to check that the integrated slow-stop dampening valve eliminates harsh bouncing stops at full extension, and verify perfect panel alignment along the fender margins before signing off the workshop ticket.
Nitro-Carburized Micro-Polished Carbon Steel Rod
The primary piston rod is precision-machined from high-strength carbon steel treated with an advanced nitro-carburized chemical surface layers. This metallurgical processing guarantees superior resistance to under-hood moisture corrosion, ensures minimum surface friction coefficients, and keeps internal seals protected from abrasive wear across repeated lifting actions.
Proprietary Multi-Lobe High-Pressure Nitrogen Seal Group
The main gas cylinder body is hermetically isolated by a specialized multi-lobe high-resilience synthetic rubber packing block. This technical setup prevents internal nitrogen charge drops under intense under-hood engine bay heat soak, stops hydraulic oil bleeding, and ensures a dependable lifting velocity down to extreme limits of $-35^{\circ}\text{C}$.
