Vernaldo79 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Hi folk, I'm a newbie on the forum having recently acquired a 2013 A6 S-Line. My issue is that when I pull on the bonnet latch it doesn't open. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Welcome Vernon, Do you feel much resistance when you pull the bonnet cable, or does it seems ‘dead’ - with free play? Whatever, always worth a try to get an assistant to quickly press up and down on the centre front of the bonnet, while you attempt to pull the cable. Kind regards, Gareth.

Vernaldo79 Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 Hi Gareth, It seems "dead" with no resistance. Bonnet certainly doesn't "pop" Vernon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Magnet Posted October 14 Solution Share Posted October 14 The only way you are going to know is to get it on a lift and see what the behind- grille access is like when the front undertrays are removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
