Looks like the OEM part number is: 8N1837015C Available here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...ion=8N1837015C However, I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this VW part is the same: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....382734&jsn=401 I'd prefer to get the VW branded one if possible since the brand new price is the same as a used 996 part from DC Auto: http://dcauto.gotdns.com:4001/search...&commit=Search Thanks

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If thats the part number then you can order it from VW or sometimes Audi as well. If it didnt fit it would have a different part number.

The Audi and VW part numbers should match the Porsche part number?

Porsche part numbers in my experience are as follows: Series specific part number (with crossover for 986): 996 xxx xx xx + (colour code if applicable) Generic Porsche part begins with: 999 or 000 VW, Audi Cross over part number begins with: N or 8 A more specific breakdowns of the Porsche part number is: (series) (section) (internal code/actual part number) (modification/revision number) Basically if it begins with an 8 or an N you can ask VW or Audi to order it for you, however this is just a rule of thumb for me. I find part numbers fascinating
Thanks, it looks like this is a crossover part that is at least shared with an Audi TT so I'll see if I can find an option going that route.
I paid about half that for the driver side door latch but I can't find the link. If I find it I'll post it here. Edit. It looks like they went up a significant amount in the last few years.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
