My drivers door doesn't unlock then dosent lock so i believe y actuator is failing. Dose anyone know the part number or have other suggestion on what the problem could be

Hi Dan, it depends what model A3 you have, i have just changed mine , but be careful because there is so many different variations, but when you get the right one its quite an easy job to be honest,

Ive done the passanger door before hopefully i do it before it gets as bad i had to take the door card off with the door closed hit the old lock till it opened then i could replace it

And i have a mark 2 a3 5 door

Before buying a new lock, just check there are no broken wires where the door hinges.

I wouldn't thought it would have them symptoms. But i did repair the wiring harness in that door a few months back been meaning to replace that. Would you say replace it first then see what happens before i check the lock actuator

I also cant open the fuel cap anymore and im low on fuel

i never had any problems with my fuel cap so maybe it is a damaged wire, like you said i would check that first,
