Hi all. I have just purchased my first Audi A6 C5 2.4 QUATTRO (2000) but I have a problem with the latch which opens the bonnet. One day upon opening the bonnet from inside the car the lever was very loose. I went outside to check if the bonnet had risen and it had'nt. I have removed the lever from inside the car and tried to pull the cable incase it had stretched but the latch will still not operate.
I have tried the shaking of the bonnet when someone else operates the cable and it still wont budge.
I have managed to remove the front grill which I thought was going to be the answer as a lot of the latch can be seen but it's not the case.
I have had several mechanics have a look and technical guys after my hours and hours of attempts but nobody can unhook the latch.
I got a mate of mine to speak to an audi technician and he said that it could be operated from underneath the car but I can guarantee this is not possible and think he may be confusing himself with another model.
As I am now out of ideas and the next step is to cut through the latch and catch and just replace these but it's always worth asking about.
I would be gratefull if anybody could offer some assistance or even some information about if the latch can be operated from the front through the grill with some wire or ahook etc.
Thanks in advance.
