Original Left Tailgate Hinge – 4K8827299A

Original factory left-side tailgate hinge (driver-side tailgate hinge), designed for Audi A7 Sportback, S7 and RS7 (4K / 4K8 generation) models produced from 2018 to 2026, including versions with 3.0 V6 TFSI (55 TFSI / 340 hp), 2.0 TFSI (40/45 TFSI), TDI diesel engines, and S7 and RS7 variants based on the modular MLBevo longitudinal platform.

Original VAG bodywork load-bearing component. Made from precision-stamped, high-rigidity structural steel and protected against corrosion by a factory-applied cataphoretic (KTL) coating. Equipped with factory-fitted, hardened pivot pins that ensure smooth axial movement without noticeable play. The hinge design works directly with the tailgate's electric screw actuators, reliably transferring the loads of the large, glazed Sportback bodywork while ensuring perfectly aligned gaps between the tailgate and the fender and roof.

Fitment guarantee and VIN verification

Before shipping, each hinge undergoes an alignment check on a measuring plate and a test for radial play on the main pivot pin.

Fitment / installation note: The initial designation 4K8 (tailgate group 827) with an odd ending 299 clearly defines the left-hand hinge with geometry designed exclusively for the Sportback body style in the Audi A7 (due to the specific angle at which the rear window drops, hinges from A6 C8 Limousine or Avant models do not fit). Damage or bending of the left hinge arm most often results in the tailgate edge catching on the left fender, water leaking into the trunk, and overloading the left electric actuator. Installing a 100% straight, factory OEM hinge restores full precision adjustment capability and maintains even body gaps. Before purchase, we recommend comparing the OE number stamped on the hinge arm or verifying it using the vehicle's VIN.
