Default Rear doors not opening from inside, Need help!

Hello everyone!

I am unable to open the doors from the inside of the car on the rear seats, I understand there is a child lock feature on the door, I have unlocked this and still the door doesn't seem to open from the inside?*I noticed*that when I pull*the door handle it feels very loose and as though nothing is connected to it compared*to the front door handle. The weird thing is that its the same on both rear doors!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

That still sounds like the child safety lock feature. Considering its both the rear doors, it's not a mechanical fault.

How did you turn off the child safety lock? You may have done it the wrong way, therefore the child safety lock is still on. I don't own a A4 so I don't know exactly how to do it on that model. On most VW/Audi vehicles it is either a keyhole in the backside of door, or a button near driver's window switch. Maybe someone who owns a A4 knows where it's located could chime in.

Open back door. On door edge should be a little black plastic keyhole with a picture of a child on it. Turn that. Done.
