Hi, thank you for the video. My b8 a4 has the same issue so I brought it to a shop to repair it. However, I believe the mechanics did not put the door back correctly that I cannot use my emergency key to physically lock/unlock my door now. He must have forgotten something. Do you know what he forgot to do during the assembly? Thanks!
Spot on, didn't have to move the bar you can wiggle it out and i have big hands myself. Only thing to add when you put the lock back in make sure the white plastic is seated correctly to the door or it wont push back in. Saved me a fortune and rear door is very similar.

I know I don’t want to be mr negative but the bolt that releases the lock cylinder should only be turned 13 times
