    Did you buy it private or trade? I guess a VW specialist or dealer would have to do this one.

    That's what I was thinking. Which is why I asked private or trade as if it was a provate sale, you really should have popped the bonnet when buying! If it was a trade sale, same still applies, but you should be able to take it back.

    I can't understand how you bought a car and didnt notice this one? Unless you have broke it yourself?

    I can't be;ive what i have just read. You bought a car and didn't even look at the engineTongue Tied [:S] Why didn't you have a look or get someone to check it over before you bought it?

     

    I hope that's all thats wrong?. I would take it to a garage and get them to give your car the once over.

    before you get carried away, you have tried lifting the bonnet slightly haven't you? On my car the lever doesn't pop out until I do that.

    That's true actually, you do have to lift the bonnet slightly for the tab to pop out for you to pull and release the bonnet.
