Default Engine Bonnet won't open

Hi everyone,
Just needing some advice on how to get my bonnet open on my A4 2009 model.
Checked the release lever under drivers side and cable is attached and tension is there on cable when pulled.
But the bonnet won't pop open.
Anyone any ideas on manually opening it or any advice.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin.

Try this but you need 2 people to do it. One persons pulls the bonnet release and at the same time someone in the front hits the center of the bonnet where the latch is. Use the palm of your hand and smack it. If it opens then lubricate the latch and maybe tighten up the cable. If it doesn't you'll most likely need to take it to a dealer. Good luck
