How to open the door of a Volkswagen

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Handle

The lock of a Volkswagen door may be stuck due to various reasons, including the temperature being too cold. If you are unable to open the door, the first solution to try is to spray WD-40 lubricant inside the lock and wait a few seconds before inserting the key and trying to open it. Repeat the process three more times before trying again with the key. If the handle is still stuck, it may be necessary to remove the handle or even the door panel to replace the internal opening mechanism.
