ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket, a leading aftermarket supplier of OE-engineered aftermarket parts for HVAC and engine cooling, door systems, brake systems, tire pressure monitoring systems, engine management, fuel systems and instrumentation, introduces new VDO door lock actuators (DLAs) for BMW vehicles. The added part numbers cover BMW M3, 128i, 318i, 330i and Z4 models from 1995 to 2012.
No longer just for passenger doors, actuators are found on tailgates, trunk lids and fuel tank doors, according to Continental. VDO actuators are OE-designed and validated to restore original function and fit exactly as the factory unit, the company says, providing trouble-free installation. Every VDO actuator is made in ISO-certified facilities with the same specs and quality standards as supplied to OEMs, and all actuators come standard with original equipment electrical connections and are competitively priced, Continental adds.
Four new actuator part numbers have been added to the VDO Door Lock Actuator product category. This VDO category now features more than 130 SKUs (some with exclusive applications).
According to Product Manager Dave Maclay, "Actuators are standard equipment for multiple applications on most cars and light trucks, and the service requirements are steadily increasing. The new BMW actuators we’ve added are one example of how our VDO Door Systems Program aftermarket distributors and service shops a true competitive edge for capturing sales and service opportunities that were typically a car dealer exclusive."
