Door lock module. Matto did a how to guide on here somewhere.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

cheers, did a bit of hunting about and think I found it.... bit of work but might be the only option before it gets locked shut and is an even bigger job...

Well put it this way, I didn't even notice the lock was playing up and now my rear driver's side door is stuck. Won't open from keyfob or handles. The two methods I've heard VW use are cutting into the door skin or involves damaging the sill. Neither's acceptable to me TBH.
