It turned out to be a faulty/worn lock motor which vw replaced under warranty.

^^ This.  Its happening on mine, intermittent at the moment - works more often than not but on its way out.  From my research on it its reasonably common.  A new lock unit is about £175 plus fitting.  Total of £300 ish from VW but I think its within the scope of DIY if you're brave enough to take the skin off the outside of the door.
