My drivers rear door lock has given up, it opens ok from the inside but won't open when pulling the outside door handle. I've reached the conclusion the simplest solution is to replace the entire actuator mechanism, which seems to be a fairly common failure on these cars. My previous golf has the same door replaced twice and the passenger door lock on my Porsche was replaced twice as well (uses a VW Golf IV part!).
Anyway, I've searched around on everyone favourite auction site and I don't see any new parts for sale on their. I contacted audi and they want £150 + VAT + postage! Feck me, that's more than Porsche wanted.
Where else can I get a decent quality part from for a more reasonable price? I'm reluctant to chance it on a £30 used number.
The only other reasonably priced option I see is to pull the actuator out and try and figure out which bit's not working/needs lubricating. I don't really have the time for that though to be honest, just want to pull out the old part and stuff in a new working one.
cheers Mike
