Could this be an imobaliser issue? 

Try using the key in the door to lock and then unlock the drivers door that is. 3 times. I have heard this can work for other cars so might b worth a try on yours. It's free any how. 

If not I think you need to get codes read on car by someone with VCDS to reset something.

Tell you what though, it's scared me off ever disconnecting my battery!!

It was a long shot mate, sorry it didn't work.

just spent a wee while on the net searching and to common issues come up. battery not up to the job anymore. Have you tried charging the battery or even jumping with another car?

please see pic attached, the other common fault is wiring issue.

yep, I will not be disconnecting my battery unless absolutely essential to do so!!
