Compatibility
Suitable for selected Volkswagen New Beetle applications using the exact 3B2837015AP RHD front-left lock.
Known applications include:
Volkswagen New Beetle
* Front left / N/S passenger door
* Right-hand-drive vehicles
* Selected hatchback applications – exact fitment must be confirmed by OE number
Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible / Cabriolet (1Y)
* Selected 2002–2010 applications
* Front left / N/S passenger door
* Right-hand-drive vehicles
The 3B2837015AP number is specifically associated with the left-side lock for RHD vehicles, so it should not be confused with similar 3B1… lock numbers intended for different steering configurations.
Technical Information
This assembly combines the mechanical door latch with the electrically operated central-locking mechanism.
Depending on vehicle specification, it interfaces with:
* Central locking system
* Remote locking
* Interior locking controls
* Door-open / door-closed detection
* Alarm system
* Interior lighting activation
* Door warning functions
Central Locking System Information
The New Beetle door lock incorporates electrical components and microswitch functions in addition to the mechanical latch.
Failure of an internal switch or actuator can therefore cause electrical symptoms even when the door can still be opened and closed mechanically.
Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement
A faulty door lock mechanism may cause:
* Passenger door not locking
* Passenger door not unlocking
* Intermittent central locking
* Remote locking not operating correctly
* Door showing as open when closed
* Interior light not responding correctly to the door
* Alarm-related problems
* Lock repeatedly cycling
* Door difficult to latch
* Failed internal microswitch
* Failed electric lock actuator
Important Diagnostic Information
Before replacing the lock, check:
* Door wiring loom
* Wiring between the body and door
* Electrical connector
* Relevant fuses
* Central locking system
* Door handle cables/linkages
Broken wiring in the door harness can produce symptoms similar to a failed door-lock actuator.
Installation
Installed inside the front left passenger door and connected to the exterior/interior door-handle mechanisms and vehicle electrical system.
Correct adjustment of the associated cables and linkages is important after installation.
Programming / Coding
The door lock mechanism itself does not normally require programming or coding when replaced with the correct compatible unit.
Important Compatibility Note
Please match the exact number:
3B2837015AP / 3B2 837 015 AP
with your original door lock before purchasing.
Do not rely solely on the vehicle model, year or appearance of the lock. Volkswagen used different lock mechanisms according to RHD/LHD configuration, production date and vehicle equipment.
For UK vehicles:
LEFT / N/S = PASSENGER SIDE
RIGHT / O/S = DRIVER SIDE
Condition: Genuine used Volkswagen part. Normal signs of previous use may be present. Please inspect all listing photographs and compare the electrical connector, mounting points and OE number with your original unit.
