I have seen this thread around the forum relating to other vehicles, but not so much drama with the Passat.

My B5.5 sedan latch, wont latch!

I had a dealer replace the switch, then he told me a day later after I opened it once and it wouldnt lock, I needed a new latch $400!!

It wont lock with the remote or key.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as what I should look for or some drawings?
