Bonnet Catch won't close (bonnet stuck open)

<< < (2/2)

TAPPY:
You can always put a small cable tie around the housing to keep it closed it's also a piece of mind to know it hasn't popped open again. It's easy enough to change. Iirc two 25torx screws on top of the grill and two 25torx screws up under where the number plate is. Then unplug the micro sensor and remove the pull cable. Unscrew the three 30torx bolts on the catch and remove then refit in reverse order. Hope this helps  :happy2:

15 minutes work to remove and refit
also can clean out your existing bonnet mech which is what I did on my old TDI.
