Video tutorial

In this video, we see a very simple and effective method to unlock the front hood of a Volkswagen car: it will be enough to remove the front emblem located on the grille. This emblem covers a hole that is right above the hood lock: however, the lock is covered by a metal bracket.

Simply make a small hole with a drill (which will not compromise stability) and insert a sturdy metal wire inside, bent into a hook, in order to reach the lock and be able to release it. This way we can lift the hood.
