I had the exact problem with my old mk2, i didn't remove the grill but i bet that would make it easier.  I managed to get it open by using a flathead screwdriver through the grill and generally screwing around till i got the catch to come undone. Catch needs to be slipped to the left as you stand facing the car. Given that i spent a while on this in retrospect i would take the grill off!
Needed a new cable and stuff which to be honest i got my handy garage man to fit.

Hope this helps
