T3 Lock repair kit

Post by JustSharon »

Just rebuilt the glove box lock so it is fully operational on a key.

In readiness for the campers lock overhaul, looking at my stash of wafers etc,  I am short on a few wafers.

Has anybody got the part number or link to the repair kit? It's not the only vehicle that needs doing so a readifull supply would be handy.

TIA

Hi Sharon,  google suggests the kit part number is 443898041A, but check yourself as I think there's at least a couple of different size cylinders that use similar tumblers.

I saw some on ebay.co.uk, but they seem a bit pricey, and in the pic the tumblers all look the same insted of varying. (I think there are four different ones, numbered 1-4):

There's a german T3 parts site:

Hi Sharon, if you can get the 4-digit key code stamped on one or other of the vehicles lock cylinders, in theory a properly equipped VW franchise should be able to cut a minty fresh 100% correct key. How many are still around with the correct gear and knowledge is another question..

Yep , Andy shall get a decent key first of all, but...

as I thought, NLA, according to TPS from 2013, so must of been old stock on the shelves...

The sting in the tail is £13.58 + per single tumbler blade.

I am going to conjure a plan.

Good Afternoon,
I've just been reading your thread.
Email me if you want wafers or springs, mine is the EBay advert in the link above.  I'm more than willing to help out anyone in the T25 world as I'm an owner myself.  The price above accounts for Ebay and Paypal fees and postage so overall for a set of new parts including my support and instructions by PDF I probably make a couple of quid per order.  That buys me a beer while I'm packing the order.
Happy lock building every one!
Brendan

How many wafers and tumblers in a set, any idea?
