Hi Sammmo
I don't know of a specific fault with the VW locks but in most cases like yours it turns out to be seized linkage. Perhaps removing the trim and a spray with WD40 will do it.
Maybe the solenoid that works the lock mechanism is a bit sticky, Citroens used to have a similar problem. The only cure was to fit a new one.
Any one close to you got a VAG scanner if so ask them to do an actuator test on the door.

If you need the block values i may be able to help.

Thanks
