The mk4's suffer from dry joints in the door locking electrics (dodgy microswitches) this can lead to all kinds of locking strangeness.

The central locking can be reset to factory defaults by removing both battery leads from the terminals and holding them together for 15 seconds. (record your radio code if needed)
