fingers crossed

 

👍 This set, shown in picture, is for lupo.

 

You can also see manuals for this on https://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/front_door_central_locking/doors_front/removing_and_installing_lock_cylinder_with_inner_profile_key/

I just use the top part which holds spring in place (the one which he removed at 0:45 in video) to reassemble the lock. Just turn the spring in place with those little extensions and push it down. But be very careful by holding the spring down, I laughted about importance of VAG OEM T10009 tool until I nearly got the spring in my eye.

just incase anyone uses that ebay link.

i checked the pieces before reassembly and as you can see , the new aftermarket piece is shorter - not sure i wanted that - so rebuilt with the new spring - but didnt do me any good. lock is still the same so back to the drawing board

Not the right one for a Lupo then. Hmm.

From memory, i think Lupo locks are the same as polo, golf, bora, passat of that age. No idea what that shorter one is for. Interesting. Raise a case on ebay, saying not as described... they'll have to pay the return postage. They probably tell you to simply bin it.

How annoying.
