I have the grille off, that was easy!
The latch mechanism seems to be malfunctioning! I'll tinker with it later. Thankfully, the car hasn't needed the hood open for anything

Update...
It is the latch mechanism. I had an Audi-tech friend of mine look at it. He tried for 3 hrs to get it loose to no avail 
He even got off two of the three bolts holding the hood-loop on.
Gonna have to break the latch with an air chisel.
Dammit. Well, at least my car has given me no reason to need to open the hood
To the cynical midgets out there: There's NO WAY I could have broken a latch just by putting a cable on it. AND it worked 4 times or so before it broke so :P
