This is what I've got and my door doesn't catch when open so I think I'm missing a spring but looking through heritage catalogue I can't see the bit I'm missing? Any ideas/ help?
Jeffrey in Holland does them. Tell him I sent you. http://have-a-nice-bay.nl/product_info.php?products_id=5699
Take it he's Dutch! I can't read the page lol! Is it best to email do you reckon? Sure there's nothing in the uk? Thanks
Yes, he's Dutch but fluent in English so e-mail him quoting the part number. The price of 4.05 euros is without postage.
You can get them from vw heritage but its probably cheaper from holland here you go http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares...hop.product_pID_138390_lang_EN_country_GB.htm
No, that's a different part number. What you have linked to is a spring on the locking levers on the hinge mechanism itself, rather than on the receiver. Look again at the two photos above.
I do apologise, your right vwed. They don't do them thankfully and I say that because if they did it would probably be considerably more than having the part shipped from holland. I quite often think we're being held to ransom by our suppliers. There is such a varying degree of prices for the same products, you really do have to shop around for every single part.
Mmmmnnnn try having a conversation with the guy, its like somebody who had a problem with you every email lol!! Trying to get a price delivered he gave one price posted " buy at buyers risk" or shipped recorded! I mean, what you gonna do! Obviously smoke more!! Lol
I'm missing exactly the same thing. I was going to say would it make sense to combine postage if multiple people needed the part. Does anyone else have a spring lying around? Also did I imagine it or did someone say they have made a spring from a clothes peg (am i going mad?)
Not mad - see http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/sliding-door.25399/#post-423692 as that is a similar link to this one where mikedjames made this spring from a clothes peg; some good close up pictures as well.
Ah ha - I knew I wasn't mad (and I don't care what the doctors say!) I thought someone had made one from a clothes peg. @mikedjames do you have any photo's of the one you made or tips?
