Pop the boot and leave the key inside when you shut it! Easy done...my mum did it on her Range Rover  :signLOL: Land Rover assistance had to come out, they earthed the car, somehow exposed some wires under the rear spoiler and put a live to one of then and pop went the boot! Was quite good to watch really!

I would try the AA or RAC, I know one of those companies has specialist VW units can't remember which though

Unlock boot only of locked car, put keys in boot, slam boot shut I'm guessing.

I'd give the AA a call.  They've got me out of a similar situation before.

Welcome to the forum BTW!

This is why I don't use the boot button.  All to easy to do ...

I think the RAC is VW's recovery partner just now - it used to be the AA.

Right... well i can tell you now! That unless the guy has a bump key, theres no way to get into it.... apart from smashing a window!

I presume the doors are deadlocked?

Well... i did the same thing a while back!

RAC couldnt get into it with the interior handle due to deadlocks. They tried to power it up thru the sump plug, which did work (the instrument cluster came on) but the doors/windows still didnt work!

The only reason we got in is cos the windows were down 3mm... so we managed to fish the keys out of the boot!



Took about 2 hours from start to getting in!
