The remotes stop working after several days, insert the key in the door and unlock it, after which all will be fine again.

Hi
Yes I am aware of that but it’s not working

When putting the key in the lock and turning the barrel is just continually turning ! And not opening

Sounds like the door lock is faulty, you are probably going to need a locksmith for this one...……...

There is a 4€ part that connects the key barrel to the locking mechnism that sounds like being broken.
Part can be purchased from ebay and also VW parts counter. To change it is a time consuming, but not very difficult. My car had just that issue when I purchased it from previuos owner...
In your case it soinds like to get the door open before repairs is a challenge... maybe a locksmith or Porsche dealer can help on this.

If I remember right, porsche does not sell this little part separately and the door lock mechanism is rather expensive...
