B8 Estate Boot Latch/Lock Broken
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2024 2:47 pm
Hi guys, been a while..
Finally getting around to working out why the boot won't open on the estate and it appears the latch/lock goes faulty and then needs to be replaced (fairly common thing). Looked around and there must be 100 different parts numbers that claim to be compatible! Everything Seat, Audi, VW etc - they all use what looks like the same part.
So - is it the same part? I think the correct VW/Passat part is 3G0 827 506 (not sure on C or D) but when you look on places like Autodoc, there are a dozen options and loads of different part numbers. If anyone out there can give me the part number for a 2017 GTE Estate boot latch, I'd be really grateful! I almost just rang the main dealer and bought it from there but I'm sure they'll want silly money..
Thanks in advance
