T6.1 Sliding Door Actuator Issue

[acompta]

Hi all,

I have a T6.1 without child lock as the van originally was a Standard Line Van.
The sliding door has suddenly stopped opening from the inside and only opens from the outside.

The actuator is used for both internal and external opening. Is it possible that the part of the actuator that opens the door from the inside is defective and the the external one still ok?
I don't want to order a new actuator if other have had the same issue with a simple fix.

Many thanks
