Hi folks, I know this is a reasonably common problem, but none of the solutions I've read online seem to work.
My 987.1 has been sat outside for about 14 days without starting. This morning I went to start her and the keyfob does nothing - not even opening the boot/front. Unlocked manually (which seemed to only half work as the door didn't shut properly), put the key in straight away and the only lights I get are the airbag warning. No turnover, nothing. I'm pretty sure it's not a flat battery, I've never had any signs of problems there before and the last run before parking was a decent one ~50+ miles.
I did have her go to sleep once before but I can't remember how I woke her. From memory I just sat there fiddling for about 10 minutes and suddenly she came to life. I didn't have time to do that this morning (we took the missus' VW Up! instead, shudder) so I'll be doing some fiddling in the morning.
Any specific advice welcome. I understand there's supposed to be a sequence of key turning, etc. but I did try this several times with no joy.
