removing door lock on VW Golf IV year 2001
 

I am changing the door cylinders in a VW Golf IV year 2001.
Stupid me ... i turned the screw too far out on both doors and now the clamps who hold the cylinder in place has fallen into the door.
I managed to take of the inside of the door panel and now want to remove the metal door plate on the inside.
ONly I can not find any tool to remove the 2 inbus bolts in the side of the door (that you can see when you open the door), together with the capped smaller inbus screw that holds the clamps of the cylinder.
A T20 tool fits in it but when i use force it slips and damages the inside of the screw.
Any suggestions on what tool to use?

Thank you :D

Thank you for your answer.
My car is a Volkswagen Golf IV, year 2001, 5 door, diesel SDI 1900.
The manual you state says that the 2 bolts of the door lock mechanism look like torx screw, but they are not.
What type of screws are they then and what tool to remove them with?

Edit: seems i have to search for triple square tool ...

thank you

Yes VW's use alot of torx bolts and screw so its worth having a set of sockets and screwdrivers in your toolkit.

The idea is you add Golf IV, 2001, 5 door, diesel 1.9 SDI to your signature.

The triple square tool worked. Seize 8.
I have the door panel off now. Tomorrow i look for removal of internal lock and handlebar. Still did not find the ring inside the door. Hopefully this story continue succesfully.

@ Keithuk
I added my signature several times already and see it in the preview, but it does not appear under my replies in the topic ... :(

Your sig look ok to me so you must have done it right.
