Choosing the right used Volkswagen Crafter door handle

Used door handles vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:

Fitment questions

What years does the Volkswagen Crafter door handle fit across - are there different generations?

The Crafter has two clear generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2006 to 2017, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2017 and continues from there. Door handles from the Mk1 and Mk2 are not interchangeable due to significant body redesign, so always make sure the handle you're sourcing matches your generation. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

Will a door handle from a 2015 Crafter fit my 2018 Crafter?

A 2015 Crafter is a first-generation (Mk1) model, while a 2018 Crafter sits in the second-generation (Mk2) range, so these are different generations with different body panels and door designs. Handles from these two generations are very unlikely to be interchangeable, and you should not assume they will swap over. Ask the breaker to check both parts against your specific registration before ordering.

Does it matter whether my Crafter is a short, medium or long wheelbase when buying a door handle?

For the front cab doors (driver's and passenger's side), wheelbase does not affect fitment - the cab doors are the same across wheelbase variants. However, if you need a handle for a sliding side door, wheelbase can affect the door size and design, so you'll need to confirm the correct part with the breaker. Always specify your wheelbase and door position (sliding or hinged) when getting a quote.

Does it matter which side the door handle is - NS or OS - on a Crafter?

Yes, this is one of the most important details to get right. NS (nearside) is the passenger side on the left, and OS (offside) is the driver's side on the right in UK vehicles - these handles are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from a breaker.

Does trim level affect which door handle I need on a Crafter - for example, does a Startline differ from a Trendline or Highline?

Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of the door handle - the door shell and handle aperture are the same across Startline, Trendline, and Highline variants within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as chrome detailing on higher trims versus a painted or plain finish on base models, but these are appearance differences only and can be addressed when the part is refitted or resprayed. Focus on getting the correct generation, side (NS/OS), and door type rather than trim level.

Do I need to tell the breaker whether my Crafter has a sliding door or a hinged rear door when buying a handle?

Yes, absolutely - sliding doors and hinged rear doors use completely different handle mechanisms and are not interchangeable. Make sure you specify exactly which door the handle is for, including whether it's the sliding side door, a hinged rear door, or one of the front cab doors, as well as the side (NS or OS) where relevant. Giving the breaker your registration and a clear description of the door will help ensure you get the right part.
