Sliding door roller replacement

[dcq1974]

Hi All
Newbie to the site here! I've got the same issue with the near side roller of my 2016 VW T6.1 Shuttle (Multivan).
I spoke with Just Kampers in the UK and did a search on what was needed using the VIN number. Two part numbers are stamped on the bracket:

7H0 843 397 and 7E0 843 397 G

Searching on these numbers, none of the parts looked correct from the links on here, due to the child lock cable management etc.

From the VIN Number search, the correct part I need is 7LA843397 which is correct, but only appears to be available as a OEM VW part at £170!!!

Any thoughts on where I can get equivalent other than direct from VW? Or is the Newbie missing something?!

There are plenty on eBay. I’m fairly sure the T5 and T6 use the same part but check first.

I need one of these too currently, but Autodoc doesnt have stock unfortunately. Anyone any other suggestions please?

Edited - assume this is ok - advertised for T5 but part number the same (I have a 2017 T6):

Pardon our interruption...

And there’s also this:

Has anyone kept their old bottom door roller thingy,
I have managed to repair mine with a new roller. Also, it will make it much easier to change the roller next time it fails
Much better than the cheap copies you can get!
I just got replacement rollers from my local store and machined them to the correct dimension, had to make a sleeve for the inner bearing as it is slightly bigger than the factory maybe last longer. Then drilled and tapped the pin that it goes on, put some thread sealer on a stainless bolt and hopefully it should be ok. When it goes again it should be an easy swap.
So I was wondering if I could repair yours depending on how bad it is.
only for what it cost me in parts and time about an hour.
this is mine repaired
