Are the 5k and 4k door handles different? quattro Digest, Vol 147, Issue 14

[Huw Powell]

The parts are only the same if every digit (and letter) is the same.

Thus

443 123 456 A
853 123 456 A

are different parts doing the same thing in different chassis.

---

Also, you'll see "43x" and "44x" parts all over the type 85 and 89 
because the large chassis cars were developed first, especially in the 
latter example.

I used two of them on my ur Quattro turbo which is same as your 4000 with no problem at all. The only difference I could see was the metal insert was black on the 200 and bare metal on the ur Quattro. Mk2 Golf handles fit a 4k perfectlyIf not the inner ones are totally different . Hope that helps
