Scirocco Central

So i have a big problem... something must have drained power from the battery and now i cant get the doors open. Tried the manual key hole under the cover by the drivers door and it seems to have never been used and is now corroded... tried some WD-40 etc but it still wont let me put the key in to be able to turn it.. also tried the spare key just to make sure but that did not make any difference

Is there a way off opening the bonnet/trunk from the outside so i can charge the battery?

Any help is really apriciated!

Yes there is but bare with me......

1) bumper off - look for guide on here somewhere
2) access cable for bonnet release - I can only advise you on this, but we cut a small in the plastic and was able to grab the cable and pull it (very fiddly)
3) someone else push down on the bumper around the area of the badge and it will pop open

Sorry this won't help you but I had the exact same problem the other day with my Up! Keyfob wouldn't unlock the car and the key in the lock wouldn't work either. After a few minutes of puzzlement I realised it wasn't my car and mine was parked a few spaces along...doh!

Hope you get it resolved soon...

That was quite funny Bob, bet you couldn't believe it when you realised you had the wrong car!

Just back onto the issue here, I think I would want to persevere with the route of the manual unlock as opposed to taking the bumper off etc. I bought this item last year https://goo.gl/sXSCL6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; from Amazon to remove a corroded bolt on a shower fitment, this may possibly work here although I can see the OP is based in Norway.
