VW MK3 Golf & Jetta Passenger Door Latch — 1HM837016R (Vacuum Type)

OEM passenger side door latch for the Volkswagen MK3 platform. This is the vacuum-actuated version without electrical connections — correct for MK3 models equipped with vacuum-operated central locking rather than electric solenoid locking.

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.
