Passenger door stuck

[Workwell]

Door is stuck shut. Tried all utube tricks to open with no joy, any suggestions apart from ripping off the door card. Tks.

Front or rear passenger door?
Manual opening or keyfob?
Does the door (if front) have a lockbarrel?

If its the door lock module that has failed I have used the the following method.

I had a Mk4 Golf, it suffered the same fault.

I got two mates, put friend 1 in the drivers seat and friend 2 at the rear where the faulty door was.

Friend 1 was tasked with locking and locking the doors using the buttons on the door handle.

Friend 2 was tasked with pulling the interior door handle and pushing the stuck door open.

I was hitting the door with the base of my fist, around the location of the lock module.

I had read this on another forum and it worked for me, its due to broken soldiered connections and hitting it helps gain connection to unlock.

Following this I removed the lock (while the new one was being delivered) and bungee cord the door shut, I obviously had a locked rear yard for the car though.

I had that problem with the n/s rear door. I looked up about changing the actuator but by the time I was thinking to swap it the problem cleared itself (old Polo rules...)
