Door lock

[W6llace]

Need a new front door lock module for a 55 plate gti , was going to get one from eBay for £31 as vw want £150 want to know if anyone has brought one from eBay and was it any good ? Cheers

I've fitted about six I've bought off EBay to different vehicles - one gave me a right run around failing intermittently in the locked closed position but the supplier just sent another out.

Was the replacement ok ?

[doylebros]

Yes the replacement was fine but double check the install before closing the door just use a screw drive to set the lock.

Will order one tomorrow cheers

Personally id be fitting a genuine one that is gauranteed to last a few years rather than risk doing the job twice!
Surely get a genuine item less than £150 off ebay or from tps etc
Just my 2 pence mate

£145 tps or £31 for a eBay one with a years warranty , think I will take a gamble

In terms of visual quality externally the EBay one looks no different but the saving as stated is worth the effort.
