Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to somebody with access to the 2005 Skoda Fabia Mk 1 petrol 1.4BBZ estate elegance  parts catalogue. 

 

The driver’s door lock has started playing up with interior lights or fuel pump sometimes not working when the driver’s door is opened. 
after owning a Mk 4 Golf for 25 years I am well versed with dodgy door locks. Experience has shown me that the cheaper Ebay locks don’t last and it’s better to buy a genuine second hand item. 
 

My research cannot pin down the exact part number for my car and so if anyone can help with this then I can get one ordered before stripping the door, especially as my inner door lock and window carrier is riveted rather than being bolted. The Skoda dealer will not help with the code but a new one is approx £180 after a call today. 
All help welcome.

 A lot of options for door lock No.1 indeed...

 

Sorted now, thanks to all the help. 

Just an update in that the latest part number for the drivers door lock is 

3B2837016AA. 
This is the part you would buy new from Skoda. This part supersedes 3B2837016R. The big difference with the micro switch in the AA part is that it has been modified with a springy piece of metal that pushes on the micro switch as the latch rotates. This will prevent the micro switch wearing or even become gunged up. The older part has no protective strip of metal so the switch button will wear. 
Put the part number into your local auction site and you will see it is used by quite a variety of VAG vehicles. The very latest version has a white and black case rather than all black. 
 

The next issue that I tackled was the riveted inner door card. 
 

It seems that Skoda dealers do not keep the rivets in stock and you have to order a bag of 25. They are very robust rivets and so your average one handed rivet gun will not deal with them easily. 
I bought this piece of kit and 10 rivets installed no problem. It’s quite brutal but for the money it’s a good piece of kit.
