Hi, mate happen to me on a golf mkiv .....Anyways you may be lucky and its snapped inside the car and you can pull the end with pliers. If at engine end think best to wait for someone with personal experience.

From what i can remember you can either reach up from underneath, behind the front bumper to the mechanism (no undertray ofcourse) or through the centre bumper opening up to the mechanism. Something like that anyway its dooable so dont panic :eek     :mmmm

easy to undo if you reach up to the catch youll feel two outer lugs on the drivers side theres another lug inside the two outers push it to the offside the catch will release ;)
