These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have a 2004 996TT. Its in storage for winter and wont be used for a couple of months, if I disconnect the battery and close the bonnet will I be able to open it again by using the power lead connection in the drivers (UK car) footwell that I use to open the bonnet when the battery is flat ? Thanks.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Its stored in a communal garage. Anyone know for sure, I dont what to try it and then find out there is no way to open the bonnet.

POST 5Original post

Well, it ought to work since that's what it's intended for, but if push comes to shove, there should also be an emergency release cable under the front bumper.

POST 7Original post

If it does not work and you left the battery cover off what you can do is use a long screw driver. Connect the + end of the jumper box to the screwdriver and the - to a ground. Touch the screwdriver to the + post and pull the switch.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
