About this product

When door lock performance matters, the AIC 52963 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: LV, Operating Mode: Electric, Left-/right-hand drive vehicles: Steel, Lock System: Copper, Number of pins: Stainless Steel -pin connector. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with AUDI vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 07561, 100008510, 12115294, 12115299 and 59 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. AIC is a recognised supplier of automotive replacement components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops.

Replacing worn components on schedule preserves your vehicle's safety, reliability, and resale value — and aftermarket parts from established brands deliver OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the dealer price. Every part is dispatched from our UK warehouse with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free hassle-free returns.

Door Lock buying guide

Why replace this part?

Door lock actuators use an electric motor and linkage to engage or disengage the door latch on central locking command. A failed actuator prevents remote locking from functioning on that door, creating a security vulnerability. The electric motor windings and plastic gear teeth inside the actuator are the most common failure points.

Signs you need a replacement

  • One door not responding to the central locking remote
  • clicking or grinding sound inside the door when locking
  • door locking or unlocking intermittently
  • door that must be locked manually while others lock automatically
  • visible sluggish movement of the lock mechanism

When to replace

No set interval — actuators typically last 10–15 years or 100,000 cycles. Replace on failure. Access usually requires removing the door trim panel.

Installation difficulty:Moderate — requires basic tools and mechanical knowledge
