Never had this problem with vws, but have been in the same spot as you with mk GTiR.
What i had to do was take the weather strip off the outside along the window and tinker in there.
but seeing ass you have the door card off you should be ablet to access all the linkages. Find the main one that accuates on the door striker and see if it moves when u pull the handles. if it doesnt , then possibly the lock lingage is stuck and its locked the door...
so basicly pull on a few linkages ;) .
At least your door card is off tho! will make it easier to trace the problem.

vws are crazy things... i gave up and went to get some petrol and tried the back door and it worked...



i checked and rechecked the door and everything worked ......so i lubed up all the locks and put everything back together .

thanks mate

I've never heard someone had so much bad luck with a mk2 as you have.. i think its time to consider selling that sucker and looking for another
