Brick in the boot and fish it out. Again £££ to replace

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm sure the lines of the RAC lift it up and pop the locks by accessing some battery terminal points under the engine??

Do you have breakdown cover?

Ok... I,m gonna say it knowing that I'm old and have no idea..

How do you lock your keys in the boot when its the only set you have.I have to lock my car with the key fob apart from the first unlock which relocks itself after 30 seconds if no entry.

If you use the boot unlock button it's quite easy to lock the keys in the boot, as only the boot latch is released. The other doors remain locked, plus the boot locks automatically once shut again. That's why i only ever use this button when I'm at home & have access to the spares.

I will use the boot release button but I'll put the keys into my pocket so there's no danger of them being accidentally locked in the boot.
