There are two bags so it seems more likely it's the controller/pump at fault, online comments from people who have repaired various A8/S8 seats seem to confirm that.

I've no idea how I'll get to it though, from various sources I'm pretty sure it's high up in the back of the seat, on the opposite side to the headrest motor.
Looking at the seats it would appear that you have to lift the leather back cover off upwards somehow, or unstitch it at the back.

In Goran's old thread I think it's all wrapped up in foam so not at all obvious. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6302
I think it's behind the grey foam I've circled in this picture, or just to the right of it pointed to in the second picture:
