Post by: jameelno1 on March 25, 2012, 02:32:34 pm

just want to know there are different boot handle part number but all look the same near enough
i know that they will fit but will i need vagcom aswel or is it a straight swap

3C5827469B
3C5827469C
3C5827469D
3C5827469E
3C5827469F

also there are ones from passats, golf mk6, jettas and eos with same part numbers but some have slightly different bolt holes

i went to vw dealer they said i can only use 3C5827469D boot handle

Why are you changing it , whiteworm? Mine is starting to go as well , so I'm going to have to change it at some point - i think the later plastic ones feel a bit cheap and flimsy compared to the metal one on the early cars though.

I replaced mine with one from a mk6 the mk6 sits out slightly from the boot but looks smart and totally worth doing
