Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented door lock cylinder is dedicated to the front right door of the Volkswagen Sharan 7N generation. Its placement in the front right door area means that the component works directly with the door handle mechanism and latch, responsible for the physical locking and unlocking of the door. Such a fit allows for maintaining the factory key operation geometry and smooth performance of the entire system.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The lock cylinder has been designed as an original part by Volkswagen, which translates into compliance with factory manufacturing standards and precise fitment with other door components. The cylinder construction is adapted to work with the vehicle's corresponding key, and the mechanical solutions used allow for secure locking while maintaining ease of operation. To facilitate the selection of the correct component, a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers are provided in parts catalogs, allowing for verification of compatibility with the specific body version and model year of the Sharan. This helps reduce the risk of purchasing an incompatible part and speeds up the repair process.

Condition, origin, and benefits of use

The offered lock cylinder comes from dismantling and is marked as used, which in practice means maintaining the original manufacturer's specification at a more favorable cost compared to a new replacement. Such components are frequently chosen for maintenance repairs where functionality, fitment, and a reasonable service budget are important. Using an original lock cylinder in the front right door of a Sharan allows you to:

• maintain the factory standard of vehicle security,
• ensure proper cooperation with the existing door mechanism,
• reduce installation time thanks to precise geometric fitment,
• minimize the risk of issues with locking and unlocking the door.

Practical installation tips

Replacing the lock cylinder in the front right door requires removing the interior door panel and gaining access to the handle and latch mechanism. Due to the precise nature of the component, it is recommended that the installation be performed by a person with experience in working with door locks in Volkswagen vehicles. A correctly installed cylinder ensures uniform resistance when turning the key and stable locking, without jamming or play.
