Hello,
Just registered on here, this is my 1st post....go easy on me!
Last week I did not use my A3 (standard 1.6) all week, and as you may recall it was a particulalry cold week with losts of heavy frost.
Came to use the car this weekend and the central locking is not working.
It makes no 'whirring' sound at all. When in the car the internal locking switch does not lock the doors either. All doors and boot are openable manually, but it is a pain as the car is currently for sale too.
Should also add that I have only ever used a spare key for this car, so never used a remote on it. Putting the key in the door and turning it does not activate the central locking.
Can anyone give me some helpful hints as to the likely cause of the problem?
Thanks.
