Hello all,
The catch on my drivers door is broken, it looks like the internal spring/lever which pushes the triangular catch on the underside of the catch is broken - does anyone know if it is possible to repair it? It doesnt look like replacement catches are easily available from all the usual suppliers in the UK, but I haven't taken the old one out yet to get the part number for a proper search!
Door catch repair / replacement
Are you talking about the catch on the body side, or on the actual door itself? The body side catches are available as used items online (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... id=1778286) .. If you're talking about the mechanism inside the door (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... id=1858316) you can buy those parts used as well, but I think they are right and left specific, and maybe even year-specific. For sure you'd want to make sure a replacement would work with your particular style of door handle. Best to try to find a similar parts car to yours and get one from there. Good luck.
