Power locks operating poorly with key fob - poor range

I have a 2005 1.8t Jetta GLS wagon with over 133000 miles.

Problem: The key fob range is limited. I must use the key fob from no farther than three to five feet from the driver door in order to unlock, lock or operate the trunk with the key fob.

I have replaced the battery in the key fob.

What else can I do to solve this problem?

The electric trunk hatch opening motor seems to be sluggish as well.

Thanks ifixit community!

This problem can usually be solved by cleaning the circuit board of the key fob.

The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button.

Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!
