Not a hard install, but getting the rubber gaskets in place required using a dental pick. Wish the key plastic was VW.

Ignition cylinder is not very good. Didn’t work for me (missing a metal nub at the tip so does not make good contact in the switch). Everything else was peaches.

MATCHING KEYS!

Purchased a Vanagon with one single ignition key. It didn’t fit any door lock on the entire van. All were mismatched! They finally ALL MATCH! Worth every penny for this upgrade!

Nice set, but...

The set came nicely. But it would have been better if the cylinders came with the rubber gaskets. Now my new key cylinders have some play or wiggle within the handles.

Easy and perfect.

Not the hardest job, or the biggest, but maybe one of the more satisfying. Better than turning the key to no avail!

Must be aftermarket handles!

It is in the fine print, but if you do not understand the key thing, All the handles must be AFTERMARKET for the cores to fit. Original VW handles will not except the cores. I ordered it with handle, but when I got to the rear hatch and had the locking button all pulled apart, the core would not fit. Had to order an aftermarket and will change the core out to the set so all my locks and ignition are on the same key

Door handles and lock set

Installation was not to bad and all work great.

Great set, but needs more gaskets

I'm super stoked to have a 1 key set!!!! The new lock cylinders are great. My only gripe is, I wish there was a full gasket set option to include the sliding door (2) and the rear hatch (1)

Do I need any additional parts for the rear hatch? One reviewer said that it didn’t work with their OEM setup,and had to order an aftermarket part(s).

The rear hatch core included with this kit is only compatible with 1984–1991 rear hatch locks. If you have an earlier model year van (1980–1983), you will need to obtain a later-style rear hatch lock.

Hi,

I purchased this kit, but don't have a key for my existing sliding door handle. Is there a way to remove the old cylinder without the key? Could I drill the cylinder out? Thanks!

Hi there, Matt,

I would talk to a locksmith about the best possible route, additionally the folks on www.thesamba.com might have an answer.

Thank you,

Are there any installation instructions or videos for this kit?

GoWesty

Hi there,

We don't provide any installation instructions because the installation is the same as OEM. There's a good chance you can find information about the install in the bentley repair manual. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
