Hello

Does anyone know how to replace the bonnet release cable on an 2002 Audi
A4 Door? I have had problems with mine and cant close the bonnet, After a
bit of investigation the cable appears is seized in the outer cable., The
cable moves fractionally but is very stiff, Can only pull the cable back
if using a pair off pliers.

Does any one know where i can get a copy of a manual for doing this or
does anyone want to tell me.

many thanks to all!

go to a mountain bike shop and get yourself some all weather cable
lubricant, stick loads of it at either end of the cable, leave overnight and
see if it helps shift it. as far as actually replacing it i can't help,
sorry
