VW Passat, SEAT Toledo / Leon / Arosa & VW Lupo Front Left & Right Door Lock Cylinder Repair Kit 1995 - 2006 (Replaces 3B0 837 167 / 168)

Restore the door lock function of your VW Passat, SEAT Toledo, SEAT Leon, SEAT Arosa, or VW Lupo with this premium 7-piece front door lock cylinder repair kit, manufactured to factory specifications for direct OE replacement compatibility.

Installation Notes:

• Visual verification required – before installation, compare the supplied repair components against your original lock cylinder parts to confirm correct dimensional match
• Fitment verification required – confirm your factory door lock part number is 3B0 837 167 or 3B0 837 168 before ordering
• Door lock cylinder repair requires careful disassembly of the door panel and lock mechanism – take note of original component orientation and order during disassembly to ensure correct reassembly
• Use a clean work surface and tray when servicing internal lock cylinder components – small wafers and springs are easily lost or misplaced during disassembly
• Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the new components before reassembly for smooth long-term lock operation – avoid oil-based lubricants which attract dust and debris
• Test full lock function with the original key before reinstalling the door panel to verify proper repair
• Professional installation strongly recommended unless you have experience with automotive lock cylinder service – improper reassembly can result in lock failure, key damage, or lockout situations
• If unsure about compatibility with your specific VW or SEAT variant, contact our team with your year, model, and factory door lock part number before ordering
