livmarshall17 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Bought my Arosa the other day and couldnt be happier with it however...Pulled the leaver to open the bonnet yesterday and it made a horrible noise, after this the bonnet didnt open. The handle springs back so i dont think the cable has snapped but just wondered if there was a way to open it without having to attack the grill?is this a common thing for Arosa's?

Chrisbee Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 jack the front of the car up and go from under it, there plenty of room at the front of the bay (small engine) so you should be able to reach in and pull the latch.I'd imagine the cables come loose, common on any car really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livmarshall17 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Managed to get it sorted today, took it in and he couldn't get in from underneath but managed to go through grill. The black socket that joins both cables had popped open. Not going to be so heavy handed in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
