Here are the instructions on how to repair a dent in the door of your Audi A3. The steps are very simple and quick. First, remove the entire plastic part inside the door, which is held by three screws located near the handle.

Once the plastic part of the door is removed, as shown in the video, use two pieces of wood and a hammer. Position one piece of wood against the dent to act as a level.

Use the second piece of wood as a chisel and, while tapping with the hammer from the inside of the door, carefully bring the metal back to its original state. Obviously, it won't come out perfectly as if it were brand new, but as mentioned in the video, if you don't know about the dent, you won't even notice it.
