I had the same problem, and mine turned out to be a jammed switch. I wiggled, the switch, and the problem went away. The other symptom was that the hood would pop 10s after I started to drive away.
If wiggling the switch doesn't work, look to have it replaced.

My 1997 vw polo classic 18i's doors wont open,it works on central locking with air,i cant manually pull the door knobs up but my boot and petrol cap wont open,ive disconnected the little pipe of the...

The air powered centrol locking is a pain, not the least because of the high cost of a replacement circuit board.

I can't quite remember how I overcame the problem. I think I applied either pressure or suction to the air pipe to unlock everything and then once everything was unlocked I was able to manually lock and unlock each door and in this case the boot lid. The fuel flap was left unlocked without problems.
