1987 911 turbo. Tried to open the engine lid to check the oil. Something snapped. The lid didn't release and now the cable can't be pulled. I assume the cable snapped or disconnected from the latch. How do I get the engine lid open and repair the cable.
Thanks.

not 100% familiar from the car but have you looked from the underside to see if you can reach up to manually move catch? thats about the only thing i can think of.

I believe there is an emergency pull cord behind one of the rear tail lights.

Get a philip screw driver and check.

Good luck
