So... Back in October I had the embarrassing moment where my door wouldn't open at a petrol station. I completely forgot and just went to get in and just confronted with disappointment!
It sounds like the lock is activating and the handle goes to full travel. Can hear the catch moving but it's stuck shut.
Probably the plastic bush on the linkage rod is deformed meaning the handle doesn't actuate the lock properly - you can adjust it as well.
Need to get the door open and remove the door card though.... will it open from inside?
Mine did the same u can still take the door card off enough to get your hand behind it and it's the rod that hasn't moved enough to open the latch, on mine I toot the B pilar trim off pulled the door rubber back and got it
I had a similar problem on my RS4, it was the little metal pin had fallen out of the push rods. Even more frustrating as it was a rear door with child locks on..
Dont think you can get the door card off, there's a screw on the side face of the door card (i.e in the shut...). I'll try taking the B-pillar trim off and see if that work.
I've definitely had it open since the first incidence if I remember correctly...hopefully it will decide to work again and I can strip it down!

It's must come off I got mine off not completely just the size take the B post travel off and pull back the door rubber
Got it open! Not sure why it wasn't opening. Leant against it while opening and it did the trick.
Had it all apart and can't see anything obvious. Lubed up everything and it seems to be working fine! I'm sure it'll stop again at the least appropriate time!
had this again today embarrassingly at a bodyshop mid-quote. The bloke pulled the handle as I opened the car... seems that if you pull the handle with it locked it doesn't quite return enough so that when you unlock it, it won't open. Had my hand inside the door card when I finally opened it, locking the car, pull the lever up, un lock and she's a good un.
Ordered a replacement lock. Any one got a guide on how to change it? Not sure how it comes apart from looking at it.
