Just to confirm, you have a key hole on the outside of the each door and you have to walk around to the other side and physically lock the door. (Reference, If you had keyless locks you would not have a key hole on the passenger side, regardless of left or right drive.)
I've been chasing door lock issues for a few weeks trying to understand the failures. First thing, do the door locks make any sound when you push the button? If so which ones. Also fuel door, does it make noise, if so equipped.
My passenger side didn't make any sound but fuel door and drivers door did make sound but none would lock. I replaced the lock mechanism for the passenger side, in my case I've got no physical key hole to lock that door. Now the passenger side works fine when I press the central lock or lock with drivers side physical key. Turning the key in the drivers door will lock both doors now. Keyless still won't lock the doors but it does unlock the passenger side.
I believe the lock mechanisms just ware out. The motor on my passenger side just didn't work and was actually hard to move. Drivers side motor sounds like it's working but I think something in the lock mechanism is worn out preventing it from working right. The fuel door lock motor works but it may must have bad linkage.
To get the door lock mech out you need a triple share bit, 8mm I think, don't try a torex it'll bugger it.
I've not confirmed this but I've heard a VW/Audi mechanism can be used instead of the Porsche ones which are quite pricy.
