The remote locked but would not unlock the car. Reprogramming did not help. After a battery change my 2002 Passat key remote immediately worked again. Thanks for the disassembly photos.

Reprogramming is a cinch:

Hold the “unlock” button on the fob while you manually open the door. Then start the car. That's it.

The car I used this method on was a 2001 Passat.

The pics let me know, as much as anything, how not to break it. My fob works much better now.  Thanks again. I broke the end off of my fob that goes on the key ring, so I am looking to get another fob, well that and the fact I don't have a spare (used car puchase con).  Does anyone know if this would be the same way to program a new fob?
