Default Remote locking 99' A6

Help. My 99' A6 Avant central locking does not work when I try to use the remote, the central locking does work manually from pressing the button inside the car. Is this a problem with my remote or a problem with the ECU central locking unit?

Nothing happens if you unlock it twice. any idea where the central locking ECU unit is located the problem might be that. I've heard it was under the rear seats but I checked that and its not there?

Default I'd doubt it's the ECU, if the interior switch workss.. Does the car know when you open the door...

with the key in the ignition? I wonder if the door latch switch is working?

Have you managed to sort your problem?

My 2000 A6 after water in the footwell displays exactly the same symptoms.
