You don't need to bother taking the door card off, just remove the handle, it is held in by one bolt with a splined head located on the end of the door, undo that and slide the handle forward then it should pull out......a simple solution if u have remote central locking and it is the lock thats gone would be to fit delocked handles (5 door rear handles).

I think it's a torx type bolt/screw. If the lock is knackered you can probably replace only the one lock/handle but this door would need a different key. I think it might be possible to get the same lock barrels made by VW if you have your key number. Expect this to cost a bit though, I reckon (guess) about Â£50-Â£65.

Just get it out then check up closer first though.
Does the door handle inside work ok?
