Hello folks

The bonnet release cable on my 2017 Fabia Mk 3 has either snapped or somehow become disconnected which means that I cannot release the bonnet catch with the lever inside the car. What is the easiest way to access the catch and pop it open?

Hope someone has some ideas?

Thanks

The cable runs at the top of the wing so I don't think there's much point taking the wheel and wheel arch liner off as the break is probably at the cable joint thing after but if you can't think of anything else you could see what (if much/any ) access or view you get by doing so. Anything else I can think of just risks damage, sorry.

Are you sure the cable is broke, if not you could try removing the pull handle and if required interior trim panel and pull the cable with pliers.
