This then becomes your new bonnet release. Any eagle eyed person with the knowledge will be able to open your bonnet from the outside. So do be wary of this solution. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few hunderd quid from reno.

If the cable to open the bonnet on a Skoda Octavia is broken, you may need to access the release mechanism directly. One way to do this is by locating the release lever or latch underneath the dashboard on the driver's side, near the footwell. You can use a tool such as a long screwdriver to carefully manipulate the latch and release the bonnet. It is important to exercise caution and precision to avoid damaging any components while attempting to open the bonnet without the cable.
Sometimes the plastic coupling breaks, the coupling links the cable from the key barrel to the actual locking latch mechanism. Applying pressure to the coupling (pushing the cable towards and into the latch mechanism) and turning the key can open the bonnet if this is the reason why the bonnet is jammed.
