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 (> obsolete... I'm not buying that since I'm sure the same latch was used
