Reference vehicle only; vehicle colour, trim, wheels, engine and specification do not determine module compatibility. The vehicle must be the 8X-generation 5-door Sportback and the part number/coding must match.
Confirmed and Conditional Compatibility Chart
| Vehicle | Years | Body / position | Fitment status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi A1, first generation, type 8X | 2012–2014 | Sportback 5-door; physical left-rear door / UK N/S/R |
Conditional fit Existing module must match 8X0959795D, or VIN must confirm a valid supersession. Coding/equipment must be compatible. |
| Audi A1, first generation, type 8X facelift | 2015–2017 | Sportback 5-door; physical left-rear door / UK N/S/R |
Conditional fit Match full part number, plugs and coding; verify by VIN where uncertain. |
| Audi A1, first generation, type 8X | 2018 | Sportback 5-door; physical left-rear door / UK N/S/R |
Conditional fit Only the outgoing 8X generation. The donor marking on this item states A1 2018. VIN must confirm 8X, not the later GB generation. |
This Part Is Not Advertised To Fit
| Excluded application | Reason |
|---|---|
| Audi A1 3-door hatchback | No fit: the 3-door body has no rear side doors. |
| Audi A1 type GB / second generation, including 2019–2026 | No fit: different vehicle generation and electronics architecture. A 2018 registration alone is not sufficient; decode the VIN. |
| Right-rear door or either front door | Not claimed: this used item is marked N/S/R and is offered for the physical left-rear door. |
| Any vehicle with a different label number, plug arrangement or incompatible coding | Do not order: similar-looking modules are not automatically interchangeable. |
| Audi Q3 8U or Škoda Superb 3T | Some catalogues associate this number with additional group vehicles, but equipment, side assignment and software coding vary. Direct compatibility is not confirmed by this listing; purchase only after VIN and diagnostic verification. |

Where It Fits and What It Controls
- Rear electric-window motor operation, one-touch function and limit learning.
- Central-locking commands and communication with the rear-door latch.
- Door-open / door-closed status reporting to the vehicle network.
- Anti-trap / pinch-protection adaptation for the window system.
- Optional door lighting or electric child-lock functions where the vehicle is equipped.
Important: not every A1 has every optional function. The replacement module may require coding and basic settings so that it matches the installed equipment.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Rear Door Module
- Left-rear electric window is completely inoperative or works intermittently.
- One-touch window operation or anti-pinch protection is unavailable.
- Central locking does not lock or unlock the left-rear door correctly.
- Incorrect door-open warning, interior-light behaviour or alarm-related door status.
- Optional child-lock or door-lighting features stop working on that door.
- Diagnostic scan shows loss of communication with the rear-left door control unit, including faults associated with rear-left door electronics.
Why Choose an Original Manufacturer-Marked Used Part?
- Correct physical design: factory connector positions, mounting geometry and casing dimensions are more likely to align with the vehicle's original installation.
- Vehicle-network compatibility: the correct manufacturer part number provides a stronger basis for matching software, coding and installed equipment than a generic low-cost copy.
- Known identification: the photographed label gives you a traceable number to compare with the removed unit.
- Cost control: used vehicle parts can cost up to 70% less than new in some cases. The actual saving varies by part, condition and current new-part price.
- Lower environmental impact: reusing a serviceable part extends its life and can reduce the demand for new manufacturing and waste.
Fitting Guide, Required Tools and Repair Time
Typical Tools
- Non-marring interior trim removal tools.
- Torx driver/socket assortment, commonly including T20, T25 and T30.
- Small ratchet and suitable sockets; pick tool for connector locks.

General Installation Sequence
- Confirm the VIN, module label, physical connector layout and door position before dismantling.
- Record a full diagnostic scan and save the coding/adaptation values from the original module where communication is possible.
- Switch off the ignition, remove the key and isolate power following the manufacturer procedure.
- Remove the left-rear door trim carefully; disconnect switches, lamps and cables without stressing the wiring.
- Access the door electronics/window-motor area and inspect the harness and connectors for moisture, corrosion or broken wires.
- Remove the old module, transfer only approved associated components if required, and install this replacement without forcing plugs or fixings.
- Reassemble the door, restore power, code the module to the vehicle where required and perform window limit / anti-pinch basic settings.
