How do you open the hood on your 2001 vw passat when release strap is broken?

1. Locate the hood release lever inside your car. It is usually located near the driver's seat, under the dashboard.

2. Pull the hood release lever to release the hood.

3. If the hood release lever is broken, you may need to use a screwdriver or other tool to release the hood. Look for a small slot or hole near the hood release lever. Insert the screwdriver or other tool into the slot or hole and pry it up to release the hood.

4. Once the hood is released, you can open it by lifting it up. Be careful not to drop the hood on yourself.
