What is OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 and which part does it identify?

OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 identifies the rear right door lock for the Volkswagen Caddy III Box Body/MPV, a rotary latch assembly fitted to the upper section of the right-hand rear door. The part is built specifically for vehicles fitted with twin rear barn doors and does not fit vehicles that use a single top-hinged tailgate instead. The suffix 9B9 denotes the satin black finish applied to the housing. Superseded number: 7E0 827 162 A 9B9. Cross-reference: this later number is used on the equivalent lock fitted to the Volkswagen Transporter T6, Caddy IV, and Crafter. OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 may fit additional vehicle models not listed here, so it should always be verified against the OEM number printed on the existing part.

Does OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 fit my vehicle?

OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 fits the Volkswagen Caddy III Box Body/MPV (2KA, 2KH, 2CA, 2CH), built between 2004 and 2015. It also fits the Volkswagen Transporter T5 GP and Transporter T6, built between 2010 and 2019, both of which share the same barn-door rear end design as the Caddy III.

Fitment is gated entirely by door configuration rather than by engine, as the lock is a mechanical body part with no engine-specific dependency. The critical constraint is that the vehicle must be fitted with twin rear barn doors; vehicles built with a single top-hinged tailgate use a different lock mechanism and this part will not fit them. A second constraint is position: this part is the right-hand upper lock only, and the corresponding left-hand upper lock and the lower locks on both doors carry different OEM numbers and must be ordered separately. The 9B9 finish suffix indicates a satin black housing, which does not require colour-coding, as the lock sits concealed within the door structure. For vehicles built after the Caddy III and Transporter T5 GP/T6 production run, the equivalent lock is listed under the superseded number 7E0 827 162 A 9B9 rather than 7H0827162A-9B9.

Cross-reference data also associates OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 with the Volkswagen Caddy III Estate (2KB, 2KJ, 2CB, 2CJ) and the Volkswagen Multivan Mk V (7HM, 7HN, 7HF, 7EF, 7EM, 7EN), but these body styles are commonly specified with a single top-hinged tailgate rather than twin barn doors. The rear door configuration differs by individual build, so fitment to these two models should be verified against the printed number on the existing part before ordering.

OEM number 7H0827162A-9B9 may fit additional vehicle models not listed here. Always verify by checking the OEM number printed on your existing part.
