VW Caddy III / IV Tailgate Lock Actuator 1ZD827511C

Product overview

A new tailgate lock actuator referenced to OE-reference number 1ZD827511C. The listed fitment data lists it for Volkswagen Caddy vans and people movers, and it is described as a door lock actuator for the tailgate. When this actuator fails, the tailgate may not release from the key or remote, may not latch securely, or may not lock with the rest of the central locking system.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table includes seven entries: the VW Caddy III Variant and Kombi (approx. 2004–2016), Caddy IV Box (2019 and 2020 onwards) and the Caddy II Pick-up (1996–2000). The part listing also mentions the Golf IV, which is not supported by the fitment data. Caddy models can be fitted with either a lift-up tailgate or twin rear barn doors, which use different locking hardware, so make sure your vehicle has the matching rear door type. Please confirm by OE-reference number or VIN before ordering.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

The actuator is accessed by removing the inner tailgate trim panel. Disconnect the battery, unplug the actuator and unclip any linkage rods before removing the mounting screws. Because the actuator forms part of the vehicle's locking and security system, professional installation is recommended. Test operation from the key, remote and interior switch before refitting the trim.

Fitment checks before ordering

Rear locking hardware differs between tailgate and barn-door Caddy variants and across model years. Please check the number on your current actuator or send us your VIN so we can confirm compatibility before you purchase. If your existing unit carries a different suffix, let us know and we will check whether it is interchangeable.

Package inclusions

1 x tailgate lock actuator. Screws, linkages and trim clips are not included unless stated.
