Hi there
The rear door on my Golf Mk IV (2003/53) is difficult to open, especially from the outside. If I pull on the door handle once from the outside, the door fails to open. However, if I use my thumb as a lever on the door and quickly pull the handle with my fingers twice in succession, it releases the door mechanism and the door opens.
Likewise, when opening the door from the inside, I have to pull the lever twice in succession to engage the door mechanism and release the door catch.
I guess the problem is a mechanical one and that it's a problem with the mechanism? If so, what do I need to do to fix it?
Help much appreciated!
