Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock cylinder is designed for installation in the front left door, i.e., on the driver's side.

Technical and functional characteristics

The VW Volkswagen Golf R CD1 Door Lock Cylinder Barrel Front Left N/S is a component that works with the factory locking mechanism and the vehicle key. The cylinder design ensures precise tumbler guidance and stable operation under typical operating conditions, which translates into:

• secure locking of the driver's side door,
• proper cooperation with the external door handle mechanism,
• mechanical opening of the vehicle in emergency situations (e.g., with a discharged battery),
• preservation of the factory concept for cabin access security.

By using an original solution from the Internal locks and latches group, compatibility with the factory locking system is maintained, without the need for modifications or fitting universal parts.

Benefits of using an original lock

Choosing an original lock cylinder for the Volkswagen Golf R allows you to maintain the consistency of the entire locking system. In practice, this means:

• stable mechanism operation during daily use,
• reduced risk of jamming and problems with opening the door,
• easier diagnostics of potential faults in the future,
• better fit to the factory assembly tolerances of the door and handle.

The component from this group is particularly important in vehicles used intensively, where the driver's lock is one of the most mechanically stressed components within the door.

Product condition and service application

The offered lock cylinder is a used part, which makes it an attractive service solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. This type of element works great for:

• repairing a damaged or seized driver's door lock,
• restoring the efficiency of mechanical opening after a break-in attempt,
• servicing the locking system as part of comprehensive door maintenance.

Using an original lock allows you to maintain the factory character of the vehicle, which is important both for utility and for the potential resale of the car.
