Just as a reminder, especially to those of us, who live in a colder climate, where moisture is well present or drive dirty/salty roads.
Several days ago I could not open hood on my Passat even though it pop up and I thought cable broke. I tried to pull it harder, but it did not help. I used wire hanger to pull the hook away and to my surprise everything was fine, it just required some oil.
Once in a while, may be once a year lube your locking mechanism, it might prevent it from being stuck or break.
