I guess y'all tin practise it that way, merely if yous want to exist safe, yous tin can remove the front bumper, then loosen the radiator and come across if you tin can manipulate the hood latch release then, its a PITA, but its safer than popping off the grill and sticking a screw driver in to try and unlock the release..

Only rubber course of activity I can remember of at the moment.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Only safe course of action I can recollect of at the moment.

Promise this helps. Expert luck.

I read of someone removing the front bumper, merely and then another person said that didn't really help in the terminate. Sounds like its worth a try. Hopefully I tin can manner a new cablevision too... equally I imagine the dealership wants some ridiculous toll for it.

Well check your local junkyard, you never know what you may find. I would presume a hood cable from an B5 A4 would also work. Check n see if you can discover either an s4 or a4 in the junk g..

But as far every bit getting your hood open, removing the front bumper & loosening your radiator is the just selection I can think of that would work.

Also, cheque the CA regional section here on audizine and run across if any s4 owners take whatsoever spare parts they could sell yous...

PHEW!!! After 3 hours, I finally got it. I was able to safely remove my RS4 grill, and got 2 of the 3 10mm bolts that hold the last to the hood... however the 3rd was absolutely impossible. I so borrowed a jack (dont have mine) and was able ot go underneath and afterwards another hr, I was finally able to popular the hood release from below.

FROM BELOW IS THE Manner TO Practise It. I could take probably done it in about 5-10 minutes if I had the right setup and an understanding of the state of affairs. The latch mechanism has to move from passenger to driverside, doesnt accept much strength.

Cable is in tact... it had fallen off the latch.

Skilful to hear. I was in a similar predicament as y'all final weekend. Luckily, my headlight was out, then I only pushed it through in that location, existent quick.

But the pitiful part, It took me most the day to realize it. Pitiful.

Dainty!!!!!

Glad to hear it all worked out.!

09-xiv-200908:20 PM

this happened to me the other week i unbolted the bumper and loostened the t45s all 4
then i pushed the rad foward n held it so i had plenty room to get my hand upwardly in their after cursing and cutting my arm i positioned the cablevision dorsum in place and pulled the latch!

09-xv-200902:56 PM

wish i would have seen this earlier, This happened to me tour a month ago, took me about 15 minutes to become it, stuck a wire hanger up there with a loop at the end (wrapped around the wire and then it woudlnt pull loose) Found the hinge, placed it on at that place, pulled the wire towards the driver side and i was good to get.

09-15-200904:38 PM

aye, I actually wish I would take just tried to move the latch from below in the first place, but I just had my emergency jack. Its a very modest infinite to work with, but I could have saved a lot of frustration. Plus I bent my hood a picayune getting angry, LOL!

I am going to snap a film if I can of the latch from under the car, for future peoples issues, crusade I couldn't observe a diagram online and most threads I saw just suggested I remove the bumper or pull a headlight out. I didn't want to remove my bumper cause its partially ziptied and my headlamps are completely ziptied in since all tabs are broken.

I am working on mine at present where do i press? here is a picture show of what i am looking at.

09-fifteen-200905:07 PM

I know your spouse to come in from the passenger side and push on something merely dont know what.

get from underneath with the ii+ pes socket extension with a socket on the end for a sharp edge. I went from the passengerside of the snub mount, up between the radiator and fan, and then that silver piece in your picture will move to the driverside. I had to wedge a flashlight in at that place and use both hands. if you lot imagine that the cablevision has to pull on something, yous are merely going to push sideways on that thing.

09-15-200905:15 PM

Are you referring to this tab? it looks like the wire has popped out of the hold. Yes i am trying to come from the other side of the snub mount as well i am using a 2ft re-bar poll. Volition i take to push button the affair with the brawl back in?

09-xv-200905:20 PM

its difficult ot tell from your moving-picture show, only essentially, that plastic piece attaches to a piece of metallic that does non motion, then the brawl with the cablevision pulls a seperate lever. You demand to push the lever where the ball would go. You should be able to see it with a flashlight; information technology is a thin piece of metal with a slot cut out of information technology for the cablevision to slide up through. It should be easily without much effort.

09-fifteen-200905:33 PM

Sweet just got information technology. Thanks for the assist.

Might try to make a write up for people in the time to come.

03-19-201103:xiv PM

Very usefull thread. I was able to do information technology just had to bank check on some other car first.

03-twenty-201101:42 PM

I concluded upwards having to do that procedure like 6 times before I ziptied the cablevision so it wouldn't popular off...

Glad my frustration is still helping folks, lol.

I got my last bolt with a small wrench lol it is hard for sure!

I just broke my hood release hatch (I doubtable it needed to be lubed and I used too much strength to attempt to open it) and need to get under my hood to change my hid bulbs... Does anyone accept the pics of this thread by a take chances? I have a lift at my disposal and would like to fix this handle upshot this weekend. I still take the broken handle and was wondering if I demand to source some other ane? Or would a properly lubed latch still popular with a glued handle.. Thanks in advance!

06-17-201308:25 PM

you can uncomplicated get it from underneath. Remove the belly shield and await up yous'll see the latch hinge.

09-14-201309:04 PM

Guess at present its my plough... my boss had to exist the dainty guy and closed my hood

09-23-201305:49 PM

I screwed around with mine tonight and had no luck doing this :(

Does anyone have pics of this ? I can run across the cable but i deceit run across anything to pull on

09-23-201306:22 PM

I replied in your other thread.

Its easiest on a elevator, but I'm sure it can be done on jackstands.

Slide under the car, look upwards, you'll come across the hood latch. Get a big screw driver or crowbar, find the tab on your hood latch and push to the left(left if you under the automobile right if your looking at it)

Hood will pop.

EDIT: Just re read this thread, at that place are amend descriptions on how to get it. If y'all yet tin can't I suggest selling your S4. v minutes pinnacle.

09-23-201306:41 PM

I got an extra cable and latch assembly if you brake your.

Had this happen. Had a buddy practice timing chugalug for me and when I went to selection the auto up he was all proud to bear witness me.... And so we tried to open up the hood. The cablevision wasn't broken but had slipped out of its housing. We and then spent the side by side 2 hours fighting it (and waiting for the engine to cool down, he had just taken information technology on a decent sized examination drive)

09-23-201309:08 PM

2 hours? How were you trying to go at it. I threw it up on a lift and pushed over the lever with a giant crowbar in 5 minutes. First 3 minutes were how I was going to set on it.

Tekkie-It really is simple, just expect up until you see the latch(flash light is a nice characteristic here) Once you see it simply play around up in that location with a crowbar pushing from passenger to driver side. It should pop fairly easy.

09-24-201312:32 AM

If you lot are in a hurry...

04-21-201911:56 PM

Necro bump on this thread. However there is an easy way to practice it. The Grille is only held on by clips. Gently pry it loose and you'll have access to the 2 torx bolts that hold the striker assembly on. Get them out and the hood opens. This is on a B6 S4 (or A4).

I had to exercise it tonight after I had put the machine into service position and the cable fell out of the latch assembly.

doesn't at all count. the B5 s4 grill is held in but 5 shaped tabs all around the grill that will break if you just pull it out

04-22-201904:42 PM

Dude bumped a 6 year old thread to requite info almost a b6. Shame!

05-23-202106:50 PM

A6 C4 (1995) - same latch arrangement every bit the B5 - drove it up on ramps so 12" higher, removed belly pan, slid my arm up between the front crank pulley and the A/C hose, grabbed concord of the cable ( two tabs holding the cable back confronting the lock broke) and pulled one way for one latch, and so the other manner for the other latch. Total - near two minutes. I closed the hood on a bottle cap and pulling the hood release was too much for the 26 twelvemonth old plastic tabs.... will replace with some stainless tabs
