I drive Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI 2019 and I am facing central locking issue only with the driver's door. Each morning when I try to unlock my car with a keyfob, all the doors except the driver's door get unlocked. Tried couple of times to lock and unlock again with keyfob but driver's door cannot be unlocked otherwise than by opening them from the inside using door knob. The strange is also that I can lock all the doors with a keyfob but only driver's door cannot be unlocked centrally (either with a keyfob or by using the central locking button in the car). However, if I drive the car for some some time (e.g. more than 30mins) the issue dissapears and the central locking works normally throughout the day until the next morning.
Also, I noticed that when I am opening the driver's door it looks like door latch just slightly touches the door striker unlike for the other doors. I didn't notice that the door droped on the hindges or anything like this, I checked the driver's door for this.
Any thoughs on this?

Check the wiring loom between the door and A post, common issue

I had that sort of problem, which seemed to be related to the battery's state of charge.

Charging the battery made the fault disappear for few months and it has never happened again after getting a new battery 2years ago.

This totally makes sense since the issue cannot be reproduced after I drive the car for some time. Looks like the battery does not have required voltage level to unlock driver side door (but somehow has for the other doors!?) and when the battery is charged after some driving the issue is gone. By the way, my battery is 2 years old.

Additionally, yesterday I changed the setting for the central locking, I switched it off and set it back again to open all the doors and this morning I did not face the issue as well throughout the day. I doubt this solved the issue but fingers crossed :)

I will check it again tomorrow morning.

It MAY be a faulty door lock. Our problem is with the left rear door. When unlocking, that door and the driver's door would unlock but not the front passenger door or right rear door. However, if I approach the front passenger door with key fob in hand, it unlocks when grasping the handle.

Turns out that the left rear door which "unlocks" when pushing the keyfob was never actually locking and breaking the circuit to unlock the other two doors. So, that lock is faulty and will need to be replaced.

It is possible, you may have a similar issue so get them to plug it into the diagnostic tablet. We have been quoted something like £400 to repair roughly 50/50 on labour and parts (door lock).

Now I am getting the driver's door unlocked only in 10% cases. I am definitely going to visit garage for a check...

I just noticed that when my car is parked outside during the sunny and hot day for couple of hours, the door is unlocking normally each time i tried.

I also noticed some grease popping in the door latch.

It looks like this grease gets somehow hardened when the car is parked in a garage or the place where it is not hot so door latch struggles to open. I compared the movement of door latches from passenger door and drivers door and it really seems that drivers door latch need more push to get it open.

Maybe I should try first to lubricate the door latch.

I had issues with my near side rear door lock pulsing and not unlocking. When it went in to Skoda they ended up changing 3 out of 4 door locking modules. The car had stored the fault codes. Fortunately it was under warranty. VAG group cars have been plagued for years with door module issues. I changed several on MK4 golfs!

I have changed door locking module, it cost me around 100eur at independent workshop. Looks like the problem is solved now.
