A3 2.0 FSI Open door problem- please help!

When I open the door on the driver side from inside the car, I had to open the lever right out in order for the door to click open. Sometimes I had to pull the lever open twice for it to click. It is likely that the cable is loose inside. Is it easy to fix this? Is it a common fault/recall that I can get audi to fix it for me. My cal is not under warranty anymore

What would be the cheapest so solution. I have The AA break down cover but I'm note sure if it includes this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you think there is a more details instruction of how to "pop the door cover off" some where? I in fact did call out an AA breakdown service hoping that that's what they will do but the AA man said that I would need some special tool otherwise I might damage the plastic panel? is it in fact easy? or unless he was just saying that because he didn't want to do the job.
