Totally Loaded Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 You need to get the door lock to actuate using the door servo motor. The door has locked and the servo motor has driven the internal mechanism into the deadlock position. There is no way of overiding or levering the lock from inside the car, even with the door trim removed. I had the same issue on my 99 passat , but there is a solution. Try rapidly banging the door skin about 4 - 6 inches below the door handle with the soft palm of a clenched fist , as if you were banging it on the table , whilst actuating the central locking open and closed using the key fob. It took about 30 - 45 seconds before I got a result and the door opened. Once the door is unlocked remove the door trim , and the panel underneath before removing the 3 door lock retaining screws on the door edge and window glass. It is possible to fix the servo actuator by taking it apart and resoldering the joints. A new lock assembly with the servo actuator is about 100 pounds.
