As a short term solution, until you can get at it, disconnect the compressor
in the trunk, usually hidden behind the upholstry on one (left?) side. There
is a 3 wire connector close to or on it.

This will stop all "automatic"  lock activity and permit you to lock all
doors individually, manually.


Now, If I could just stop the drivers side window on my A3 from opening when
ever I start the engine !
