Hi All,
2006 Mk5 Golf GTI. I'm unable to open my driver's door from inside or outside.
I can hear the actuator when I lock or unlock using the key fob or the lock/unlock switch on the inside.
Does anyone have any tips on how I might be able to get the door open, or access the actuator without doing any damage to the door?
As the door is shut, it seems to me to be virtually impossible to access anywhere where I can remove the inside door panel to get to the actuator, or even the latch itself.
I've tried banging on the door, locking\unlocking while holding the handle etc.
I've even tried to unhitch the cable that is attached to the exterior door handle, unfortunately it won't go all the way back in to the door, it just moves to a deeper part of the door handle and won't release (I've seen that if you can unhitch the cable, the interior door handle should be able to open the door).
I would very much appreciate any tips.
Cheers.
