Yep check the drivers door handle, you will see that there is an end cap on the handle. Look on the underside of the handle, you will see a slot - use the key very carefully to prise this cap/cover off, and you will reveal a key lock which you can use to unlock the door! This is the official way to remove the cap, according to the Scirocco manual.

Good luck!!
