Default Door panel removal

Check out the PDF. Behind the panel is a metal frame. I don't know how that one sits though but search the forum and I guess you'll find out.

Will send you a pic. Too bad though I didn't know about that 2weeks ago when I had everything torn down and I could've given you much better details

Hook up VCDS. Check that module 18 - aux heater is activated. Then go to module 08 auto HVAC, click Coding 07 and add 2 to the existing coding. Save, exit, ignition off and when you turn it on again you should see the timer menu under ACC setup menu.

Our car developed the same problem (stopped soft close and slight noise). From the sound I am guessing that some mechanical hook came undone, however, I have never seen this and have no idea what to do. I am contemplating taking the door panel off and having a look. Any conclusions from your work or any suggestions?
