It seems the passenger door window does not lower/raise upon closing. Otherwise, the car (a 2001 S) runs fine. Is it possible to bypass the central locking system and just unlock the door with a key? Anyone know what the problem is?

99 44/100% probability that there is a bad micro switch in the latch on your passenger side door. Actually, the switch is probably fine, but the plastic face on the cam which actuated it is gone - not that it matters, because the path to a repair is to replace the latch.
There is the Porsche version of the part and the VW version of the part. I bought the VW version… you will have to poke around to find the part number.
