Hood open

I don't know what the Sawsall method is but if you remove the front wheel and arch liner on the drivers side you may well be able to access the broken hood latch cable.

I've looked under my bonnet at the latch to try and fit an emergency opener and still can't find a way to open it.
I don't fancy your chances of opening it with the bonnet closed.
Try Audi, see if they can suggest anything.

Issue Resolved!!!!
Bolts from front = no good, there are 2 more from the back
Bolts for hook on hood = no good, 3rd one is completely inaccessible.
ONLY route is between the radiator and the pulleys. LONG handled screw driver or pry bar with a bent tip at the end WILL pop the mechanism, AFTER you pry back the plastic guard on the cable assembly.
Once you've done it, you'll be pissed at how easy it is, but before you've done it, it's damn near impossible.
I RECOMMEND THAT EVERY C6 OWNER GOES AND LOOKS AT THE HOOD LATCH RIGHT NOW WHILE YOU CAN OPEN THE HOOD.
You'll thank me later.
