THANK YOU! worked for me.

@alpheusgweba794 Год назад

Thank you very much for the technical advice. I'd have the same problem of opening the bonnet of a VW Polo 2006 model from the front. I think a 3D image of how this was down could also help because I don't know exactly what I need to hook on. I can see the cable but I don't know how to hook it & push it down as you've demonstrated.

@KuldarLeement 4 года назад

Thank you - i have now my friends engine.

@sheumais63 6 лет назад

I had this problem and it wasn't nearly as simple as this video suggests to fix. I couldn't find the cable with my fingers and neither could the guys in the VW specialist I took it to, even after viewing this video first. They used a mirror and adapted tool to reach it and the replacement cable was £80. Total cost just shy of £200.

@foxyboi525 2 года назад

Having this problem right now

@smileitsallgood9832 8 лет назад

yeah same i cant find the cable either,

@seanoneillsongs 3 года назад

I have a Mégane cc with a flat battery. The key won't open the lock as it should. Do you know if this will work or would you suggest jacking up the front to charge the battery from underneath?

@westara6104 3 года назад

Tnx

@AshtonMatadin 4 года назад

What if the cable itself pulled off the locking mechanism in the hood?

@dropapjack4504 8 месяцев назад

And golf 6 TSI

@kristian6622 4 года назад

Can any of you guys help, I’ve got a MK5 GTi and the bonnet cable is not attached to the mechanism. How do I open it?

@5_flaco_5 2 года назад

what if you have the badgeless grille like that

@techytech1907 2 года назад

Will this work on a golf mk7. My battery has run out and door key hole damaged. Please help.

@cyppy7473 3 года назад

My cable isn’t connected to the hood. Like I can see then end of the cable

@juliuswyatt6127 5 месяцев назад

Does that work on a 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan? There is no hole that big on my SUV.

@Lonely_Goat Год назад

Cannot get the cable down. Any other methods

@cyppy7473 4 года назад

Okay so my cable is still connected to the latch in the car. But the cable isn’t connecting to whatever it’s pulling. When I took the badge off I could see the cable dangling there with a little ball on the end.

@kristian6622 4 года назад

How did you fix it man? The cable has disconnected on my mk5 gti at the latch

@AlperGulhan 7 лет назад

Hi i have a MK5 jetta 2.0 tdi , can i use this way also on my car ? my car has the that big hole to place the hand inside and find the cable, but i was able to find it. what for a cable is it ?

@ohmmeters 7 лет назад

It is lika a wire-cable... the same as used on mopeds and bicycles for handbrake etc ...

@amandamariemorrison 3 года назад

what if your cable is disconected from the hood latch can you still open it manually without removing the 2 star screws and having to pull up the whole latch forcing it and possibly ripping the open hood sensor connection??? if so please help

@HAZYFALKIRK 2 года назад

There are three scews, only two are visible, the third one is behind the grill

@Mangeeffs 5 лет назад

ingrit demneri same here. Have you solved the issue?

@Jayisnotbae 7 лет назад

This is more like a general mk6 model, theres not a gap underneath to feel the tiny hole. fml

@lorddragoono 4 года назад

Should have watched this about a week ago cuz I broke my VW badge by just pulling it out

@Connplayer 7 лет назад

This doesn't work on 2007 petrol golf. Wasted loads of time. Even if you've cut the hole much bigger you can't reach anything. If you take out the centre front grille below the number plate you can see up into the latch with a mirror. I have got big arms and hands but managed to reach the broken inner cable which was hanging down and pull it. Otherwise with a stiff piece of galv wire bent into a hook at the end you can reach the lever and cable end and just pull down. About 6 mins!
