How do I remove passenger door panel to access cenral locking on AUDI A6 saloon 2008
I need to remove the passenger door panel, as the central door locking has stopped working. It sounds as though there is a rod off as we can hear the motor working. On this model june 2008 there are no screws to be seen.

The driver's door normally contains the central locking module and also the solenoid that opens and closes the lock for that door. That doesn't explain why the passenger door also doesn't lock. Also check the fuse, although, it it hums, it is getting power. The only way is to remove the door panel and check.
on the lower front of the lower part of the seat directly behind the drivers seat you must push in and pull up to un clip it then the passenger side then remove the back portion of the seat has some bolts one on each side on the bottom.
For 2007 Audi A6 depending on the engine type, there are two placements for cabin air filters: 1. The cabin air filters are placed on the right bottom side of the central console - passenger side, for 2007 Audi A6 Avant. Remove the carpet and behind the plastic cover are cabin filters. When installing new filters see for the correct position - air flow is indicated by an arrow. See pictures below:
2. For the second placement, besides you need to remove the glove box for access and replace cabin air filters. Check first your car situation. If you will give me your e-mail address, I will send you photos with cabin filters replacement for 2007 Audi A6, because the www.fixya.com website is limited to 150 kb traffic.
try squirting a lubricant lke crc or similiar in lock mechanism and dribble down button to lubricate, you may have to take door facia off to get the right spots i would try this first
1. Check your owner's manual. I'm not sure if it's the same as in my 2001 A6 4.2, but there should be a pin you can pull in the trunk that will disable the lock mechanism in your fuel door. In my 2001, there was a red loop you pull in the right rear of the trunk, behind the cover panel. My owner's manual references this pin in case of central locking failure. You may need to dig around behind the subwoofer to find it.
As far as the central locking issue, it sounds like you need to replace your central locking pump. You can buy them online.
I have a 95 A6 and I am in the process of looking for a new central locking pump.
The part number may be 4A0 862 257 J, that is what it is for me.
There are directions online as to how to change this yourself once you get the part. If you buy from the dealership the part is $500.
Be thankful your child locks weren't engaged. We haven't been able to open our back doors since the pump went out.
1st wind the glass down and turn the key in the driver door twice in clockwise direction to lock, at the sound of the second click try try opening the door thru the window (passenger) manually. you will need to pull the knob twice before it opens. you can get all the passenger doors open this way until you decide to change central lock system. To activate the remote; insert the key into driver door while pressing the lock or unlock button on the remote for at least five-ten seconds which should get it functioning normally again. hope this helps. it worked on mine.
