12V Electric Powered Tailgate Kit Auto Tailgate For Audi A3 Sportback 8P 2008-2013

12V Electric Power Liftgate Kit Auto Tailgate Open Close Conversion System for Audi A3 Sportback 8P 2008-2013

This 12V Electric Power Liftgate Kit converts the manual tailgate of the Audi A3 Sportback 8P (2008-2013) into a fully automatic power-operated system. The set includes twin high-torque DC motors, a dedicated controller and brackets that bolt straight onto the factory tailgate mounting points. Fitting is straightforward: the wiring loom plugs into the existing harness and no cutting or drilling is needed. The corrosion-proof hardware, factory-style connectors and reliable long-term performance make it a favourite among installers and resellers.

Key Features

• One-Key Automatic Operation: A single press on the key fob, the dash-mounted switch or the tailgate handle opens and closes the lid automatically.
• Kick Sensor Hands-Free Option: An optional sensor module opens the tailgate with a simple foot wave under the rear bumper, ideal when carrying shopping bags or tools.
• Twin High-Torque Motors: Two 12V DC motors deliver balanced, quiet movement even when the tailgate carries a rear wiper or spoiler.
• Model-Specific Fitment: Brackets and connectors are engineered for the Audi A3 Sportback 8P 2008-2013, ensuring precise alignment and factory-style integration.
• Anti-Pinch Safety System: If the lid meets an obstruction, the motors stop at once and retract the tailgate to protect people and belongings.
• P-Gear Position Detection: The controller checks the gear position first, so the mechanism only works when the car is safely parked.
• Manual Override Backup: The factory manual release stays fully functional, so the tailgate can always be opened by hand during a power failure.
• Adjustable Opening Height: You can set a lower limit for the opening travel, which is handy for garages with low ceilings.

Technical Specifications

Applications

This kit is developed specifically for the Audi A3 Sportback 8P (2008-2013), a compact hatchback that sees constant tailgate use in urban driving and daily errands. Families and delivery drivers appreciate the hands-free kick sensor and the reduced physical effort, while the programmable opening height protects the lid in garages with low clearance. Because the standard latch and locking system are kept, the car's original security stays intact and the remote locking continues to work as before.
