Purpose and function of the door lock

The presented lock is a component responsible for the mechanical and electrical operation of closing and locking the right door in third-generation Volkswagen Scirocco and Golf 5K models. As a part from the Locks and latches group, it works in conjunction with the exterior handle, lock cylinder, linkages, and the central locking control system, ensuring the proper operation of the door opening and locking mechanism. This element is particularly important in vehicles equipped with central locking, where the correct operation of the door module affects daily usability, parking security, and the tightness and stability of the door panel while driving.

Viper Green Metallic – R6T color and body fitment

A significant feature of this lock is its factory finish in Viper Green Metallic – R6T, characteristic of Volkswagen's sporty body configurations. Thanks to this, the component allows for maintaining visual consistency on the right side of the vehicle, which is important both for post-accident repairs and precise body restoration. Selecting parts in the same paint code reduces the need for additional painting, facilitates matching with the existing coating, and helps shorten repair time. This is a particularly beneficial solution for body shops and users who care about the aesthetics and original character of the car.

Technical characteristics and installation

As an original Volkswagen component, the lock is designed to work with the factory door wiring harness and standard mounts in the door shell. The design provides for:

• maintaining factory mounting points in the door,
• integration with the handle mechanism and linkages,
• compatibility with the vehicle's central locking system. This type of element is usually installed in place of a worn or damaged lock without the need for structural modifications to the door, which limits labor time and the risk of additional interference with the bodywork.

Used condition and service application

The offered lock is a used part, which provides a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Such components are frequently used in professional workshops for maintenance repairs, post-collision replacements, and restoring full door functionality after a locking mechanism failure. Choosing an original lock from dismantling allows for maintaining compliance with the factory door construction, avoiding fitment issues, and minimizing the risk of improper interaction with the vehicle's electronics.
