Look for broken wires between a-pillar and door.

Not buy a new door lock? No other errors on the OBD11?

Broken wire(s) in the driver's door bellows are way more likely.

When you use the key, does it operate the central locking on the other doors? 

I had this with son's MK1 Fabia, 2007. Remote wouldn't reliably lock or unlock driver's door but did operate all other doors. Key in driver's door operated all doors. The driver's door lock needed replacing and all good now.

Sometimes I could encourage the driver's door lock to work with the remote by repeatedly thumping the door near the lock while operating the key fob. If this works for you then it's the lock but you get a sore hand!
