Stealers quotes about £250 all in to fix but when I get the time I'm going to have a go myself. I don't actually think its all that difficult - you just need to remove the outer door skin to access it. I've been informed by a vw tech that you don't have to take the inner door card off and if you set it right you don't even need the special tool (although I've already got it).
Whenever I get round to it I'll do a how to. (assuming of course I don't knacker my door! :signLOL:)
