I’d like to see a close up of the sensor position. It looks like it’s on the backside of the latch but I don’t see how there’s any space to get the two pins in the holes. The mechanism also hits the whole sensor in that spot. If I put it in the front side of the latch, there’s nothing there to open and close the metal sensor bar. I’m also wondering what would happen not to use the sensor at all, removing it from the alarm system…? Thanks!
my latch is still only catching on the secondary lock even after replacement. The hood release line is in there and it works when I pull the lever from the inside but it still never catches the primary lock. Any tips?
Check the alignment and the height of the latch and check the catch on the hood. Also the core support may not be positioned correctly or it might even be broken and sagging.
Just got an 05 golf TDI as my first car and the hood won’t close so I’m hoping this works, also great job on keeping the video simple
Thank you hope it fixes your issue
