2001 Audi A4 - B5 - Fix Stuck Hood Latch 

I also have a 2001 B5 A4 and I had this exact same problem and your video was exactly what I needed to do and it worked like a charm! I only wish the last time I had trouble opening it and I was able to get it open, that I had the forethought to spray the latch mechanism with some lubricant. It would have made life a lot easier. Thanks for the video, it saved my butt!

Good video - it worked perfectly. Can not emphasize enough to be as delicate as possible when popping the chrome trim and the grill out of the hood.

Thanks man! I assumed that plastic grill was screwed from the inside , and I was about to give up . Hopefully my Avant wagon has the same grill and latch...either way kudos for making this helpful vid.

Awesome. I'm having the same problem. I'm going to give your suggestion a try and I'll leave a comment when I have succeeded.

Thank you very much for your informative video. Sharing your knowledge is much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Others maybe interested ...If you do not use synthetic oil the sludge will seize and block the oil filter and the tell tail is the oil light on intermediately the finally on completely thats when its too late ... later sludge will effect the cooling pipes and lead to turbo problem

(not the oil filter) It will clogg up the oil pump will eventually seize through excessive sludge ( this is the turbo model 1.8T)

thanks for this man! much appreciated!

Thanks - it's a very helpful video! Mine problem being somewhat different - do you have any idea how to approach the situation in case the hood does not pop up, and the lever is still in its fully closed position - indicating that I most probably have a severed cable problem?

Did your A4 ever have a problem with oil sludge? I was thinking of getting one of these cars, but I heard lots of these cars get it.

This vid just saved me thanks dude!!!!

Thanks brother

Mine got stuck once, but I was able to just simply put a flat head screw driver through the mesh and skip taking the entire grill off. Twist the screw driver, opening the latch.... and boom.

i have an Audi 2003 A4 Quattro it doesn't work for me any idea?

Thanks man I owe you! 👍🏻
