Don't want to make a meal out of it it but in a nut shell I can't get my bonnet open and haven't been able to for 2 weeks
I'm worried now a van backed in to the front of my 09 sline sb I was amazed how I couldn't find a scratch or dent but ever since that I haven't been able to open it I had it in a body shop this morning and collected it earlier with them having no luck in opening it they tryed to acess it by taking of the driver side splash guard no luck they put it on the ramp and took the belly pan of and tryed to get between the gap of the intercooler no probs but no luck at getting at the mechanism or cable either I believe the only logical theory would be when the van backed into it (bumper,front panel) it slackened any tension that was in the locking mechanism then the wire and ball part maybe moved into another position deeming it irrelevant
Tryed pulling/wiggling/banging spraying wd40 into it but access is very minimal !
I don't want to put into audi as I'm moving out soon with my 1 year old boy and at the moment every penny counts
I think I can remeber on the locking mechanism the cables come down on the drivers side to open it but for some reason I think I can remember another wire/cable on the other side of the locking mechanism as I think they run on the tip if the front panel perhaps? idk can it be released some type of electronic way ?
I don't want to grind my bonnet off and foot a 4-500 pound bill as I haven't got the money guys it's been 2 weeks I haven't checked the beating heart of my pride and joy I need help people what do I do???
