Bad door lock actuator , trunk lock actuator or worn wires rubbing on metal/vehicle ground.
If the boot, or trunk cannot be locked with the key on a United Kingdom 1999 Passat 1.9 TDI, the lock might have rusted. Spray the lock with a lubricant such as WD-40 or any bolt loosening agent. There might also be something caught in the lock from the inside.
The door lock actuator is going bad.
I had the same problem.Now I can only open and lock the car using the boot lock!There are two locking systems on the passat.The boot and obviously by locking the door(driver's).I would say that the boot locking system is acting up or stopped working altogether.Do the rest of the doors open when you turn the key in the boot?That would suggest it's the boot locking system.I know it's a common problem with that year and year's before.I know four people who have had it.Usually requires changing the lock on the boot.
The lock actuator is going bad. The actuator is part of the latch.

Check to see if the actuator works when the button is pushed, there may be an electrical issue, or since work was done the wire connector may be disconnected, or the actuator link may not be connected to the lock. This is something that the repair shop is responsible for, take it back to them and have it repaired.
