Audi A3 8P Sportback 2004-2013 Rear Tailgate Stop Buffer Wedge 8P4827239B
Audi A3 8P Sportback 2004-2013 Rear Tailgate Stop Buffer Wedge 8P4827239B
Audi A3 8P Sportback 2004-2013 Rear Tailgate Stop Buffer Wedge
Used factory-original rear body-side hatch stop • Part number 8P4827239B • Supplied as one unit exactly as photographed
The safest match is an Audi A3 8P/8PA Sportback 5-door produced from 2004 to 2013 with the same body-side rear hatch stop, the same mounting shape and part number 8P4827239B. Earlier numbers 8P4827239 and 8P4827239A are documented supersessions. Registration year, trim and engine alone are not enough to confirm this small body component.

Correct Vehicle Body-Style Reference
5-DOOR SPORTBACK REFERENCE
Body-style reference only: Audi A3 8PA/8P 5-door Sportback. This is not the donor vehicle and paint, trim, wheels and facelift details may differ.
Where the part fits
The stop is fitted inside the rear tailgate opening on the vehicle body side. When the hatch closes, it contacts the corresponding area of the tailgate to cushion impact, support the closed panel and reduce movement.
What It Does and Why Replacement Matters
Cushions closure
Provides a controlled contact point so the tailgate does not strike the body or surrounding trim harshly.
Supports alignment
Helps the closed hatch sit consistently against the body seals and maintain an even panel position.
Reduces movement
Limits vibration and movement that can create rattles, knocks, witness marks or premature wear around the rear opening.
Possible symptoms of a worn, missing or incorrectly adjusted stop
- Rattle, knock or tapping noise from the rear over uneven roads.
- Tailgate sits too far in, too far out or looks uneven from side to side.
- Harsh contact, repeated slamming or excessive force required to close.
- Visible cracking, flattening, hardening, distortion or missing rubber.
- Polished contact marks, paint rub or movement around the hatch opening.
- In some cases, uneven seal pressure may contribute to wind or water noise; other seals, hinges and latch adjustment must also be checked.
Primary Compatibility - Exact-Match Rules
| Vehicle | Production range | Body / position | Order decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi A3 8P / 8PA Sportback | 2004-2013 | 5-door hatchback; rear body-side tailgate stop | MATCH ONLY when old number is 8P4827239B, 8P4827239A or 8P4827239 and the photographed shape/fixing is identical. |
| Audi S3 8P / 8PA Sportback | 2008-2013 | 5-door hatchback; relevant rear body-side stop application | PART-NUMBER CHECK REQUIRED. Confirm the old unit or VIN catalogue before purchase. |
| Audi RS3 8P / 8PA Sportback | 2011-2013 | 5-door hatchback; relevant rear body-side stop application | PART-NUMBER CHECK REQUIRED. Confirm 8P4827239B or its superseded number before purchase. |
Other Audi Vehicles Using the Same Part-Number Family
Audi dealer catalogues show 8P4827239B and supersessions in several vehicle and closure positions. This does not mean every year/body style below uses this exact stop in the same location. These are cross-reference leads only.
| Catalogue example | How to use this information |
|---|---|
| Later Audi A3/S3 body and convertible applications | Order only when the VIN catalogue or removed part shows 8P4827239B / 8P4827239A / 8P4827239. |
| Audi Q7 4L, selected applications | Catalogue position and VIN split matter. Do not buy from model/year alone. |
| Audi R8 Type 42 and Audi TT/TTS, selected coupe/convertible closures | The same number may be used as a body, deck-lid or stowage-compartment stop. Exact location must match. |
| Audi allroad, A-series, RS and e-tron examples in later catalogues | Use only as a part-number cross-reference. Confirm VIN, old number, fixing and physical profile. |
Will Not Fit / Do Not Order When
- Your vehicle requires a different part number, mounting clip, thread, height, profile or contact surface.
- The required stop is mounted on the tailgate lid but your old component is not the body-side type shown here.
- You need a pair: this listing supplies one unit only.
- You are relying only on an eBay vehicle selector without comparing the old number and photographs.
- You have an A3 3-door, Cabriolet, 8V or 8Y and cannot confirm the exact part number through the VIN/old component.
- The old unit has no matching number and the fixing design differs from the actual item photos.
Fitting Guide, Tools and Estimated Time
Suggested tools
- Metric hex / Allen key set - select the exact snug-fitting size.
- Plastic trim tool only if nearby trim obstructs access.
- Inspection lamp, gloves and clean cloth.
- Low-tack tape or marker to record the old position/height.
No manufacturer torque value was found for this listing. Do not use an impact tool or force an uncertain fitting.
Estimated time
Typical direct replacement: approximately 10-20 minutes for an experienced DIY installer where access is clear and no diagnosis is needed.
Workshop booking: many garages apply a 0.5-1.0 hour minimum charge even when the physical replacement is quicker.
Time can increase where trim removal, corrosion, broken fixings, tailgate alignment or latch/hinge diagnosis is required.
General replacement sequence
- Park safely, switch off the vehicle and fully support/open the tailgate.
- Inspect both rear stops and compare the replacement with the old unit before removal.
- Mark the old stop position or count exposed turns so the initial adjustment can be reproduced.
- Use the correct snug-fitting metric hex key or retaining method. Do not round or force the insert.
- Remove the old stop and clean the mounting seat without damaging paint.
- Install the replacement in the same orientation and begin at the recorded setting.
- Close the hatch gently. Check latching, panel flushness, seal contact and equal left/right support.
- Adjust only in small increments. Stop and obtain professional help if the hatch binds, sits unevenly or requires excessive force.

Why Choose a Factory-Original Used Component?
Correct original geometry
The moulding, contact profile and mounting design were produced for the manufacturer application, reducing the risk created by an incorrectly shaped universal substitute.
Used value
A quality used component can cost substantially less than a new dealer item. Depending on the part and market price, savings can be as much as 70%; this is not guaranteed for every item.
Reuse before replacement
Reusing a serviceable original component keeps useful material in circulation and can avoid the resources required to manufacture and transport a newly made copy.
