from the inside or the out side, someone must have pulled the outside handle out of place as you can tell its not in place etc, i took the door card etc off an try opening it from there an i still wont open, has any had or fix this problem before? cheers andy

 

Only thing you can do is pull the latch apart and fit a new one

 

tried opening the door, cant get it open at all, tried everthing it seems the latch is stuck on

is there another way of getting it open?
cheers

 

Break the latch apart with a small pry bar

 

cant get near it hardly mate,

 

hi mate the locks on these cars and similar like skoda octavias tend to jam and the only solution is to break the lock by removing the weather strips and by means of a bar and hammer break the central lock mechanism

 

Take it you've tried locking/unlocking the door several times from the key/fob as it sounds to me like it's deadlocked itself.spray a load of wd40 into the lock mech as if they don't get used much they sieze up.only other solution is unfortunatley to force it somehow.have a look on the opposite side door to see how the catch is held in,usually two torx bolts,you maybe able to get behind it too see where the fixings go and possibly grind or tap out the receptors.try to restrict the damage to the door as it will be far cheaper to repair then damage to the inner arch.good luck mate.

 

try harded . ive had to do this on a few vw's now

 

disconnect battery for 10 min. then reconnect. press central locking button, should do the trick
