If you find any place where the VW latch swap is recommended, let me know and I'll add the follow-up.
If you need the electronic part of a Porsche latch to fix your issue, let me know and I may still have one or two spares around.

It looks like I threw-out the old door lock mechanism. If you have something kicking-around, let's look at it. But I might decide to bite the bullet and get the OEM item. :dance:

I'll ship this to you for $15.


Driver's side electronic portion of latch from an '01.
You'll have to swap it with that portion of the VW latch including the micro-switch which may need minor re-fitting.

You're a good man. But I ordered a used OEM item that the seller promises me is working. (Now that I know the failure mode, i can check before installation)

Thank you!
