Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have a problem with my drivers side door and I was wondering if anyone could offer some help. The drivers door wont open on the outside but will from inside, when i try to open the door on the outside just a little, the window drops but the door wont open. I am unsure if this has anything to do with it, but I had my window down today and set the alarm off, disarmed it, got inside and the next time I tried to get in I could not, like I say proberly nothing to do with it, but just thought I would state that. Its a 996 - c2

POST 2Original post

I think your problem is on the door handle itself. There is a small pin and link which connects the handle to the catch/lock mechanism and these have been known to break. (Items 9/10/12 on the attached).
