Hope someone out there knows the answer to this. I have a 1998 20V SE Passat and one of my rear doors will not open either with the central locking, pulling the lever from the inside or the door handle from the outside.
When the central locking is activated all the other doors open but this one remains shut even the button does not pop up. I've tried it with the child lock on and off but no joy. When you pull the handle from the inside there is resistence felt and the button pops down the moment the leaver is released. From the outside it seems that the little plastic 'thingny' (do not know what else to call it) at the end of the cable may have disslodged as I cannot see the end section when I pull the handle and the door handle operation is not smooth.
If I could at least open it I could reposition this 'thingy' and perhaps it may work, without an open door I am helpless....
Thanks
