6n2 Polo Door Problems
Discussion
Evening 
Just recently I have been unable to get into the drivers side door of my Polo- it goes like this:
1: Unlock with fob, everything sounds as normal and all the doors seem to unlock.
2: Pull door handle- nothing happens, no click, nothing at all- the handle just goes to the end of its travel, as if the door is still locked.
3: Repeat step 2, about 8 or 9 times, eventually I win and the door opens (at the moment) but I look like im trying to steal the car. This is a bit of a PITA to day the least! What's going on? I guess the pin the locks it isn't sliding back or something similar, although it sounds like it is?
Related (I guess) is the fact that for about the past 2 months the door will only open on the second pull of the handle, seeing as this is what seems to be happening, just worse.
I sprayed a bit of WD40 over the lock mechanism but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I also tried using the key in the lock to unlock it, however it only unlocks the drivers door and doesn't de-activate the immobiliser, and the problem is still there.
Thanks
