My A2 1.4SE 2001 owned from new & serviced by Audi has developed a locking fault on the driver's door.
The door will not open and the windows, wing mirrors and petrol flap will not move but the other doors lock & unlock as normal.
Audi Portsmouth have looked at it and cannot be certain about the fault but I think I have lost power through a connector inside the door.
We can unbolt the 3 bolts holding the panel in place & I have seen how to do this through other parts of the forum but as I cannot open the door I cannot access the release slot at the bottom of the door.
Audi may have to cut the door panel to get it off and replace it with a new one. Estimated panel cost £300.
I have searched the forum but not found this problem elsewhere.
I have tried to release the petrol flap through boot panel but cannot get the rod linkage to move. The solenoid seems stuck fast.
So I have about 80miles of petrol left in the tank and get to the driver's seat by sliding over from the passenger side.
Anyone got any ideas please.
Love the site and have enjoyed the forum and found it a great help. Specially when I find others have had the same problems. But htis time it feels like I am on my own and I feel it might be a simple problem but very expensive to fix
