It depends on what year A8 you have, if its an earlier model the locks are vaccum operated and aren't too expensive to fix, if its a D3 A8 (04 and up) its probably a bad door latch which is messing with the electrical system which can cost a lot more to fix.

A engine vaccum leak can be related to your car not un-locking correctly so def. get the check engine light and vaccum lines checked out.
As for the gas door that has an electrical solenoid that opens that so it should always work un-less the solenoid malfunctions.
