    The remote does not work, and it was difficult to open the lock on the doors with the button on the door. Worked when we open ´held open the handle from the inside while pushing the button.

If the remote's battery has never been replaced, it's probably time now. The type of battery employed in these has a 'shelf-life' of around 5 years so if yours hasn't been replaced, you are overdue.
As far as the failure of individual door locks to operate, the mechanism may have corrosion that is impeding their travel. Check the owner's manual, it may give information about freeing sticky locks.
If you don't have an owner's manual, I can recommend the Haynes service manuals. They cost ~$20-$30 US and can be had in most auto parts stores.

I am trying to find out how to reprogram my keyfob for the central lock on my Subaru Impreza WRX 2007

You need to take the car to your Subaru dealer to reset your key fob. You are at risk of triggering the anti-theft function and disabling the engine or locking yourself out of the car. The WRX can get expensive quick when messing around with the wiring.

Golf 1.4 99 ..central locking not working

Can you operate the central locking once inside the car? Does your interior light come on when you open the drivers side door? If those are both the case, then you may have a bad door microswitch. If your car can't detect your drivers side door being closed, the central locking will not operate from the keyfob. If the microswitch is bad, you may need to take it to a garage to have it serviced as the procedure is complicated. See this website for details:
