Mate if i could biy a punt i would and then kiss ya. Bonnets been stuck down for weeks mobile mechanic failed misserably. Took me 15 seconds after seeing this. Will work on A3 8PA 2007 side note the 3rd hole is easier to do with a long socket bar and appropriate tourx
Thanks a lot! Saved me with a stone dead battery in A3 8p. I had to break the corners off the hood handle to get the screws off, though. Pry bar and a hammer sorted that, and the handle still works. 👌
Hey . How did you manage to take out the first 2 bolts ? I have them undone they feel lose and look almost all the way out but the lever for the secondary catch it’s on the way . Could you give me a little more insight on what u did please ? I’ve been struggling for two days straight trying to open it
I also have a 323i, I was thinking on welding the diff too. I've read that doing so put a lot more strain on other parts like the drive train, how have those parts have behaved after doing this modification in your car?
