Hi All, I have a 2008 T5 with door lock problems.
1st question, after being quoted $460 by VW dealer just to buy an original door lock , am considering an eBay model for under $100. But have read the cheapies are crap and don’t last long. Thoughts anyone?
2nd question, thinking if I have to buy a lock anyway, trying to get a lock and handle with key hole designed for a left hand drive model. Certain European countries drive from left side. That way I can use a key on either side. Don’t even know if that’s doable? Maybe just buy the exterior handle with key and lock and a linkage to go to the catch?
