Had the same problem on my granddaughter's '98 Passat. Use a long handled screwdriver to release safety latch located just above the VW symbol on the grill. Takes a little while to find just the right spot. Push toward the driver side (left) until latch releases. We used a wire coat hanger to makeshift a pull that we could use to release this latch in the future. Works fine.
