Never really had the bonnet or anything else open my self.. Always had it through the garage to get parts and service replaced/done. Here in Denmark the taxes are way to high that we could afford a new car with the same specs than our mk5. Looked at a Audi a4 5 door in good condition with the need to have parts from 2013 and that's like 35.000GBP
