Golf Mk3 Bonnet catch
Closed the bonnet on my VW Mk3 Golf and now it won't release using the operating cable. Had a look around the lock / front grill area but need
some bright ideas on how to release the catch. ??????

my bmw did something like that. cable snapped. best bet is see where you can find the cable (nearest the latch) cut it, and pull on the cable inside.
of course that means you need a new cable. i gave my car to the garage to fix it. they had the whole front off my car

Get somebody to press the front of the bonnet down while you try the lever if the cable is still attached and keep it greased as they tell newly weds
everywhere.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Common problem with a lot of cars , Try getting someone to pull the release lever while gently banging the front of the bonnet with your hand . After
releasing give the mechanism a good dosing of oil.
