How can I fix the central locking and electrics on my vw golf 2006?

The central locking has stopped working completely and also the ignition lights. My car is a 2006 VW Golf. I've had to open the car manually (by hand)... so what could be the problem?

Haven't worked much on these but another mechanic at work has one of these and has had a lot of electrical issues with it,namely central locking on one door and other guys I have spoken to say VW's are bad for electrical problems,right up there with Renaults and that is saying something,would get it onto a computer for a look at the various control modules and their faults,it is impossible on modern motors which have very complex electrics now to pinpoint faults.
