Review on Actuator Beetle Passenger Replace 5K1837016E by Benjamin Cleveland

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great for spares

I installed it on a 2012 Jetta SE. It was easy to install. My wife's car broke down and to open the door you had to pull the inside handle and then the outside handle. It also repeatedly jammed the doors if you were moving faster than 10mph. This replacement part fixed both problems. Before installing it, I watched a YouTube video by a guy called 116falconer. It shows how to remove the door panel and install a new latch. The electrical connector had no foam padding. I removed the old gasket from the old latch and installed it on the new latch. It was easy. It took about 30 minutes and saved us $600.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
