Purpose and technical function

The presented lock is dedicated to the front right door of the first-generation VW Touran, mounted on the driver's side in right-hand drive versions.

• the risk of play, rattling, and leaks resulting from poor fitment is reduced.

The used nature of the part allows for an economical replacement of a damaged lock while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications, which is particularly important for components responsible for safety and daily comfort.

Benefits of using an original door lock

• Stable mechanism operation – proper locking and unlocking of the door, without the need for excessive pressure or repeated closing.
• Compatibility with factory equipment – fitment to original linkages, handles, and cylinders, which facilitates assembly and service.
• Reduction of unwanted play – correct fitment with the body reduces the risk of knocks and noises while driving.
• Possibility of restoring proper door operation after a collision, wear, or failure of the previous lock.

Condition, verification, and service application

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for the optimization of repair costs while maintaining the original Volkswagen design. This type of lock will work well both for standard replacement of a worn mechanism and for post-accident repairs, where it is crucial to restore proper closing and locking of the door on the driver's side.
