Just an update. Finally managed to open the door. We disconnected the wiring plug on the locking mechanism and then pulled the cable inside the door and it popped open. Swapped over the mechanism for an new one and now works perfectly inside and out.

Thank you for the advise. I forgot to mention that the rear o/s door also won't open from the outside. Could there be a module that controls the locks somewhere which is playing up? Luckily the rear door opens from the inside.

Hi Gareth, it was purchased privately and at a good price as it has a couple of other issues that can wait for now. We was planning on getting it booked in somewhere but thought we would try here incase someone had previous experience with this issue. I've done lots of searches online and YouTube but can't find anything that can help.

Hey, just purchased a 2009 Q5 and the front passenger door is stuck shut. Wont open from inside or out. Managed to get the door card off and pull the lock cable on the mechanism but it still won't open. Not quite sure what else I can do so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
