Drivers door won't shut & a couple of Vag-codes

My drivers door is only closing onto the latch and not shutting properly, I did a scan with vag-com tonight and it came up with the following codes.

Address 35 -------------------------------------------------------
Controller: 4B0 962 258 H
Component: Central Lock/Alarm D33
Coding: 04810
Shop #: WSC 02325
3 Faults Found:
01562 - Right Rear Door
59-10 - Can't Unlock - Intermittent
01559 - Drivers Door
60-00 - Won't Safe
01562 - Right Rear Door
61-10 - Won't De-Safe - Intermittent

This morning was the first time it has happened. Anyone any ideas

New latch, or maybe lube it. That failure is mechanical.

Lube it. The door latch is 100% mechanical. either the cable is binding, or the latch itself..

There's a small sliding bar in the latch that does tend to get gummed up, and cold weather makes it worse.

Depending where you live, cold & heavy spray grease do not get along, will make it worse in the cold. If it has been lubed with a heavy oil or spray grease, flush mechanism clean with WD-40 or similar. Then use a sparay graphite to lubricate.
