1997 Audi 80. Door release cable.

[PeteKS]

Hello,

Im trying to re attach the door release lever cable to the release mechanism on door lock. The end cable is hooked and the lever on the latch unit has a barrel type end, but the cable hook won’t fit onto it? Or am I doing something wrong?

help! 
Thanks Pete

its hard to tell from the pics but if theres no obvious place to hook it into then theres probably a bit missing[check bottom of the door as it may have fell down]also maybe have a look at the passenger door and see if its different

Thanks for reply, I was thinking the obvious place to attach it was onto the end of the lever over the barrel / pin but it doesn’t fit on to it. I checked bottom of door for any bits but nothing. Good idea about checking other door tho! 
thanks again. Pete
