VW MK3 Golf & Jetta Passenger Door Latch — 1HM837016B (Vacuum & Electric Type)

OEM passenger side door latch for the Volkswagen MK3 platform. This is the combined vacuum and electric version — correct for MK3 models equipped with both vacuum-operated and electrically-actuated central locking, typically found on higher trim levels and later production models.

Door latches are one of the most commonly needed MK3 replacement parts — 30-year-old mechanisms corrode, seize, or simply wear out, and factory replacements from VW are long discontinued. Sourcing OEM from a donor car is the only way to keep these cars locking correctly.
