$17 bucks and then you get your Porsche lock fixed.... try to go to a mechanics and expect at least $400.In my case I only used a part of the thing. I had to look some youtube videos and links reported among the reviewers here in Amazon to understand how to fix my lock, but it does its job and I have saved so many $$$.I definitely recommend this.

This was a royal pain to assemble. It took 4 hands and 2+ hours. The best part is, since it's made out of the same low-quality metal as the original, you can look forward to it breaking again in the future!

Finally fixed both drivers and passenger door lock barrels! These are prefect for a B5 VW Passat. The included instructions are not that great, as a matter of fact the instructions skip steps and suggest the most difficult procedure to repair the lock. After removing the bad parts, assemble the pieces without the spring to get an idea of how everything goes together, then:1) Place the bottom cam/base-crown (piece#1 - bottom) over the two notches of the lock cylinder, so that the opened end of the cam/base-crown faces the rounded side (not the flat edge, where the door handle meets) of the lock.2) Insert the spring (piece#2) with the flat angled end on the bottom, it should lay at rest next to the bottom prong. The other end of the spring will have a greater angle (not as flat) which should be on top and used to set the top crown #3 and keep tension and compression in place.3) Place the crown (spring cover piece#3) over the spring with the angled end of the spring on the outside of the notch (in the opening), then press down and twist it to the right until the little grove on the back of the crown sits in place on the cylinder housing. Now, while everything is set in place keep pressure on the top crown, or the spring will fly out or jab you in the eye. The crown should sit flat.4) While still keeping pressure on the crown, install the tailpiece (piece#4) over the spring, there is one way this goes on. You will notice a small notch on each side of the part in front of the two prongs that stick up, these notches should face the same way as the two openings of both the crowns. When pressing down you'll need to place pressure and twist the tailpiece until it sits securely behind the two other prongs from piece#1 and when in place it will not have any movement. You no longer need to keep pressure on the top crown, but continue to keep pressure on the tailpiece.5) Again keep pressure on the tailpiece and install the retainer (piece#5), this piece will slide in between the circular notch around the top of the lock cylinder and will lock all the pieces in place. It should slide between piece#4 and the groove on the door lock assembly.Again, I'd suggest a dry installation without the spring in place just to educate yourself how everything goes together a couple times (perhaps use a little WD-40, so you don't have to force everything apart and break anything)... after that install everything with the spring, but use caution as you'll be adding compression/tension and springs will go flying if not careful. :)***note do not use the method where you install the tailpiece (piece#4) first/second as it's more troublesome and will chew up fingernails. It's much easier to use the spring cover to compress the spring.There are a couple videos out there repairing the locks, I'd make one that's more detailed, but no I'm not:youtube.com/watch?v=jf4uLb2IZiUyoutube.com/watch?v=Y5nVqouH1KU

Literal garbage, cheap metals that break if too much pressure is applied to it. Spring ends are far too long, had to trim them down and the dumb U piece that locks the paddle in place is too fat so it wont fit, making this a useful hunk of junk now. I might try to sand it down to be thinner but as a consumer I buy things like this so that I AM NOT the person who has to manufacture it to work right. Garbage, wish I could get my money back, waste of 5 hours.

Parts fit perfect for my 97 Boxster. Key would spin freely in door. both the rings were broken into many pieces. a little tricky to get back together but once you figure it out its not bad.

OK So this saved a lot of money and trouble, but it is very tricky to do. So if you don't have a lot of patience don't buy it. Having a vise to hold it while you put it together helps.
