Edit - Nm, the battery must have had just enough juice to slowly open the locks while i was jacking it up. Tried them one last time after jacking it up and they opened.
Hi folks,
Got a Mk4 I havent driven for a while due to an issue. Went out to charge the battery today so I can take it to get fixed tomorrow and the doors wont open. Key turns lock and raises knob but doors still locked.
After googling I found out that you need power to open the doors even with the key, but my battery is completely flat.
So does anyone have any tricks to open the hood? I have an aftermarket grill that I can fit a screwdriver thru to the hood latch but I don't know if that will help.
Alternatively where can I put a 12v lead onto from under the car?
Absolutely any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks.
