Have you tried to turn the key in the unlock postion and hold it for 5+ seconds? That should trigger all the windows to open..(comfort opening)

That's all a bit worrying, I always thought the key could manually open the door.

Do you have both keys for the car? Obviously you will have tried the other one if you do have it.

Maybe a new battery (two needed I think) in the remote and try again!

Keep us informed,

Stew

Maybe the cars battery is on its last legs, hence why the windows don't go down and why the key wont open the lock

Hope you get it sorted soon and cheaply

Battery was new last winter. And breakdown man tried the jump leads. I didn't have the other key with me so had to leave the car and get home. Call a garage out tomorrow

Here's the current plan...

,,,try to get a VW dealer from Newton Stewart to go to look at it. They're only 26 miles away and the nearest Audi dealer is 52 miles away. If they can fix it, I'll book a one-way hire car to collect when I fly in to Glasgow from Bristol on Wednesday night. Drive to Stranraer, dump the hire car for father in law to return next morning and drive the S8 back in the early hours of Thursday.

Let's see how that works out....
