How To Open Audi A 3 Bonnet With Broken Cable. I found a few ideas on how to pop the catches but not easy to see what you're doing. Car hood cables can break from corrosion of the cable or the parts becoming worn down from use, usually snapping either at the hood release handle or at the spring Because of this tendency, if you own an old car your cable may eventually snap or become loose when you try to open your car hood.
I would suggest disconnecting the ends under the bonnet and holding them vertical while lubricating so that the oil can run inside the cable sleeve. How do you get the bonnet open when the catch has broken and there is no cable to get hold of - Renault Grand Espace? I realised that the cord has broken.
There is a rubber "stop" on the cable where it goes through the wheel well. can anybody tell me how to get the bonnet open as the cable has just snapped on me, how hard are they to fit too?
You check in to your hotel and pull out your phone's USB cable to plug it in before hitting the sack, only to discover that the cable..the bonnet release handle is slack as though the cables loose or snapped so the bonnet won't.
I have elevated the front of the car however can not seem to access anything that will help open I have also removed the foot panel on the interior - however this is of little help as the cord broke at the other end. I managed to find out the cause of the problem. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few.
