I have a problem with my central locking. I have a 1998 Audi A4. I can lock and unlock the car with the remote, however the car has started unlocking itself.

The car will lock, alarm lights flash etc and stays locked. (I wait for about 30sec to make sure it stays locked) I then go away and when I come back it is unlocked? Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?

I have noticed that occasionly when I try and lock the car it will try to lock and then unlock again. I go through the process a couple of times and then it stays locked.

It does not unlock everytime and seams a bit random when it unlocks.

Usual question-Has it had water leaking into passenger footwell?
If it has, it can cause central locking to go skew-wiff.
If not,i'd be checking for logged codes.
Could try search funtion to see if anyone else had same problem at top o page
Good luck
