At a guess the outside handle has become detached from the linkage inside the door and you've got the child lock on as well.
Well to get the child lock off, you need a long fairly broad plastic strip, I've used the long side cut out of a plastic milk carton in the past.
Wind the window in the offending door down, then insert the plastic strip in the door gap underneath the handle, once in try the internal door handle, if it fails try again working your way down the door by widths of the plastic strip, trying the internal door handle as you go, with luck you'll have release the child lock by the 3-4th try.
Once open, its taking the inside door card off and re-attaching the linkage for the outside handle.

I believe it's 1993-1998 that are the same. I'm not sure if you'd be close enough, but I'm actually parting out a 1998 Jetta, and have both rear doors. You can email me if you still need it. [email protected]
