Golf door lock

My 2002 VW Golf has developed an annoying intermittent fault with the front passenger door lock. All doors lock without a problem using the key fob, but occasionally if locking from the internal master switch the front passenger door lock will lock, but then disengage and open. I'm going to take it to a VW dealer for a look see, but can you tell me what might be happening? Is it a faulty connection within the door itself or is it something going wrong in the master switch?

It's impossible to say without seeing the car, but it's unlikely to be a faulty connection. It's more likely the controller.
