Thanks for the reply, we're all right four fuel at the minute. I rang the Audi dealer and a really helpful guy informed me that they are not opening until the 26th of this month so he booked me in for that date along with a curtesy car.
He told me to ring Audi assist in the mean time as a stop gap and was told to tell him to leave the flap a jar not to push it home so it locks me out again.
When he turned up it was the AA it varies apparently, His first words were best to take it to Audi before he had even looked at it.
To be honest he was the most unhelpful person I have ever met he pressed the flap and it didn't work (there's a surprise)
I told him I had tried the emergency manual cord but that hadn't worked he then tried that, you could tell he just couldn't be arsed so he said the only way was to force it open and I needed to sign a disclaimer, by this time the guy at Audi covering the switchboard would have finished so I declined so he left after spending no more than five minutes and that's being generous.
If had I paid fo the AA I would have probably rang there head office to tell them how dissatisfied I was.
Been trawling the net for advise and it's a very common fault on most of the VAG group, one post on I found said to slide a credit card in between gap of the wing and the flap so will give that a go tomorrow which is what I would have thought the AA guy could have tried wouldn't do any damage but hey ho
