My 2014 Audi A4 hood won’t open—how do I get it open?
I wanted to refill my windshield wiper fluid reservoir, but my 2014 Audi A4 hood won’t open. Do you have any troubleshooting tips?

Once you’ve jacked up your Audi enough so that you can safely fit beneath it, grab your pry bar and a headlamp (you’ll need the latter in order to see!). When you’re under your car, look for the hood latch way up at the top. It will be between the engine belt and the fans.
Now, take your pry bar and use gentle (or heavy, depending on how stuck it is) force to pop the hood latch open. If it’s really, really stuck, try spraying the end of your pry bar with a little WD-40 to help ease it open.
Once you feel the hood latch click, come out from beneath the car, and manually lift the hood. That should do the trick! If you’re beneath your car and unable to get the latch open, you may be better off taking it to a trusted
