Take your key and go to the drivers door, make sure the door is unlocked by pulling on the handle, open and close the door. Insert the key and "lock" the door, double check that it is locked by pulling on the handle. Insert the key and "un-lock" the door, use the handle to open the door and now press the fuel door key and it should open, same for trunk release button.
Audi's are a strange breed, sometimes you just need to "re-set" some stuff. But in the future if you lock the car with the key, the fob will unlock the car but the three buttons in the console will not work, the fob will function correctly.
I hope this helps.
T Tetterton: I don't know how you knew that, but It worked Perfectly the first try. Thank you so Much!!! for posting that comment!
Locking & unlocking worked for us! Thanks so much! We were totally freaked out & worried maybe something big fried when the battery died. Godo to know! Thanks!
Dude - you just saved me tons of time and grief, worked like a charm - THANKS!
...a few hairs left on my head trying to look at fuses, etc...worked like a charm..ironically looked at new Audi today...love the 2006 model with all the tricks..
It did work like a charm! Thanks!!
That lock/unlock trick does work perfectly and on the passenger side door as well. Just so happens at the moment my driver side door lock is broken and just continues to turn so I thought what the hell so I tried it on the passenger side and just like magic my buttons work again. Thanks a bunch to whoever posted that trick originally

Sometimes this can also happen due to bad hazard light switch. The hazard light switch on these have the blinker relay built into them and they fail causing blinker issues like the blinker will come on but not blink, Dome light issues intermittent dome light not working, and the fuel and trunk buttons not working. I'm not sure why but they all may be in the same wiring circuit. I knew it was the cause of my blinker problems but the other day when my dome light would not work again for the heck of it I turned it to on and then pushed in my hazard switch and low and behold the light came right on. Hope this helps people I know the problem frustrated me. A new hazard switch is around $80 a little pricey but it is because the relay is built into it. One part that fixes three problems though so a good deal. Our '02 TT's have common problems for days and I have run into nearly all and am becoming a wealth of knowledge on them lol.
It's a PITA but you can open the fuel lid manually by prying open a little felt covered opening inside the trunk on the passenger's side (I use the key) and pulling up on the yellow cable inside (has a handy yellow tag showing which way to pull
Check the fuses, if you can get into the trunk with the key then there should be a cable or some short to pull to open the gas cap door
