Need Driver's Door Latch/Lck on an early 1994 Jetta. Chicago

Hi LIS/WC,
Yeah I was surprise when the parts manager checked it out and told me
that it was obsolete.

I would also believe that the early 1994 Jetta should have the
same/similar door lock/latch as a 1998 Jetta. I might have thrown away
an old defective 1995 Jetta lock/latch that I had replaced years ago.
Part # is 1HM 837 015A and fits up to the late 1994 AFAIK.
Then the part # for the late 1994 on up to at least 1998 is 1HM 837 015H.

Temporarily I have "fixed" the broken spring inside until I find a
new/good one to install.

I will call some of the other parts personnel at different dealerships.

Thanks,
dave
