The key /button could be an imobilizer, make sure it's in park if auto, try a combination of key and button, should be more than one button.Good luck, ask neighbour for help, or AA.

what is the date on the battery? do you make sure the indicator is off? because you set the indicator often on vw for having the park light on on the side the indicator is engaged to, this would flatten the battery with 2 bulbs on permanently. that would be something you would do wrong to flatten the battery

the immobilizer chip and the alarm are 2 different things. door lock mudule faults are a source of waking up the computer after about 3 days constantly waking up the engine managmant computer the battery will be flat. i have to repair my door lock modules it also random self locks with that faulty cracked soldering joint on door modules .this is a knowen issue of mk4 golf etc so could also be the same modules fitted on vans of that years . the factory scanner shows it as unknowen intermittend door lock module low or high circuit fault. i got codes in both front doors like this on my vw thats the sort of factory code you get with factory scanner if there is a problem like this 00929 - Locking Module for Central Locking; Front Passenger Side (F221): Implausible Signal

1 key + the alarm dodah ! apparently the smaller button i probably pressed in my fluster to stop the alarm, is to immobilise it. i emailed the mobile mechanic who i had got to check it out, and he was going to come and see what was wrong. i think i will keep him, you dont get many to volunteer to front on xmas eve in the pouring rain and dark.

why do you need 2/3 keys.

this is what the key looks like you should have with service manual this key is not cut the one you should have should be cut but it wont start the vehicle as its got no chip the above immo box used to disable the immobilizer and the engine will start with plastic key. i guess theives all own the immo box instructions say only for registetred locksmiss lol i got my one from dx.com years ago the immo box not the plastic key plastic key is emergency unlock key from vw in the manual book it should be look under steering wheel there most likely is a flap with the book and the obd2 port is there also http://acimg.auctivacommerce.com/imgdata/0/2/7/2/4/2/webimg/4585792.jpg
