Audi Bonnet / Hood won’t open. How to open and repair. Easy Fix.

The bonnet won’t open, firstly on the main catches (there are 2 one at each side) requiring multiple pulls on the bonnet release before the catches relies. Also the safety catch will not open at all. I show how to easily release the safety catch and repair the fault in an easy step by step process. The vehicle in question is an Audi Q3 but most modern Audi’s will be of an identical or similar design.

Hey thanks! We were in a field at a music fest this weekend and couldn’t open the bonnet to add oil following a warning light. Tried ringing our garage and struggled to follow his instructions and sometimes you just need to *see* what needs doing! Managed to open the bonnet having watched your vid, found a friendly campervan owner with some WD in his kit and we were sorted. Amazing how seized up these things can get, and incredible how a good blast with WD40 and some attention can sort it out. Bonnet pops like new now. Phew!
