My drivers side door doesn't unlock when i press the button on the FOB nor when i press the button on the inside, i either have to hold the unlock button down for a few seconds to open the windows and grab the inside handle or have my passenger open it from the inside, after which the door opens fine from the outside, just doesn't electronically unlock, any soloutions ?

Hello, my suggestion for the problem is faulty door lock module. Change it before it decide to lock and never unlock.
Done changing mine last year, works like a charm.

Hey thanks for the reply, could you be a bit more specific about what part that is, i find varying results but none are called exactly that, could you perhaps link me where you got yours ? Talked to Vw dealership where i live and they were gonna charge me 500$ for it
This is the lock module.
Known to fail.
