Operation: How to open a stuck hood; it is suitable for all models with mechanical opening

How to open a stuck hood? It's easier than it looks. When our vehicle's hood release handle appears to be detached, so it doesn't operate the hood. Keep it in the open position by supporting the handle with a lever. We go in front of the vehicle; tap the point where the mechanism is locked (if a single tap isn't enough, give a few, until it opens). At this point we see the mechanism. Two problems may have occurred: 1) lack of force in the spring 2) poor lubrication of the spring Naturally the best thing to do in the 1st case is to change the spring: we can get it for a few euros at any e-shop -commerce. However, the video teaches us to temporarily reinforce the spring while waiting to get a new one, using a metal wire, which will help us wait for shipping times. With this expedient we see that the opening lever now allows us to open the bonnet. But remember, it's an emergency measure. In the meantime, get the spring!
