Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately as mentioned before, the nipple that attaches the cable to the release mechanism has snapped (rust I imagine) so the micks garage video doesn’t really help as his is still attached. Any other suggestions? @GTI’s @3carmonte

Could do with a neat trick guys!

Is there any other way to open it without the cable attached?

Thanks again for the reply Jay, as mentioned the cable snapped at the attachment point, there is nothing to grab with pliers, I took off the badge and can see it’s completely off the release mechanism.

Hi Jay, thank you for the reply. The cable is not attached at all to the release mechanism, I think it’s the small metal nipple that may have broken. Any other ideas?

Need some help guys, I own a MK5 GTi, does anyone know how I can open the hood when the release cable has snapped from the release mechanism? I am really struggling! Cheers, Kris
