Part enquiry

[maccy]

Hello team,I am trying to locate at a sensible price a boot release handle for my 2005 Fabia Combi 6Y5.My problem is that I keep getting conflicting part numbers,for example : 6Y0827574M   This is I think the correct number, but I get lots of search results that say it should be a 

……74K or L .In my searches I assume that the hatch back model boot release is different to the combi, am I correct in assuming this.Thank you in anticipation.

Yes, the hatchback ones are different. The first number you gave is the right one for your Combi if it has central locking.

Thanks TMB.👍

Just to satisfy my curiosity,does anyone know what the actual difference is between the rear boot door handles on the Combi and Hatchback ?

Compare google image results for the two part numbers would be my suggestion.

I have looked at all of the images I can find,they all look exactly the same to me Pete,the only things that can change is possibly a longer cable or the angle of fitting due to different rear doors.

     Plus mine is working fine,the problem is that the rubber part that you press to open has a large split in it.

Bike puncture repair patch?

I guess £37.09 + VAT from a dealership is not in your 'sensible price' category?

[maccy]

   The ones I have seen are more than twice that price Pete,is that a genuine Skoda part and are they still available from dealers ?

[Breezy_Pete]

Yep, should get one at that price from any dealer or maybe a little less at a cooperative TPS.

   I have just called the nearest Skoda dealer to me and they are £44.50p.According to his knowledge they are available to order only.Where did you get the price you quoted from?

The TPS near me won’t sell to the general public ,even though I gave them lots of orders when I was still working.

Hit and miss with them  unfortunately. 

I'm considering setting up an automotive company for myself and getting an account there as a fringe benefit!

That's the same price with VAT added. I took out a subscription to partslink24 recently. Very handy.

I eventually purchased one from TPS,and they knocked me a couple of quid off.Hardest job was removing the trim panel off the boot without breaking any of the fittings.

Getting it back on is even harder

Each time I've had to remove it, it's went back on with less screws and fittings than before. At some point it's just not going to be there at all!
