Try putting powdered graphite in the keyhole.You can get it in most auto parts stores and it's not more than a couple of bucks.DO NOT use WD-40 or lithium grease ... WD-40 gets sticky and lithium grease will gum up ... if you've already used these then you might have a problem adding the powdered graphite because it's probably going to make "mud" when it mixes with the lube ... but if you haven't used any lubricants, the graphite will work really well.

Why would the locks not work on a 1998 VW Passat?

Fuse. if you have power locks it could be the power lock module or the power lock itself located in the door. I use to own a 2000 Passat wagon and while most of the doors would lock and unlock with the door switch and fob, the left rear door quit working. A used lock assembly cost me 40 bucks but was given to the new owner when I sold the car because of the sludged up engine.
