The drive connecting both hood locks must be adjusted so that it has no play. The drive shell must be completely seated in the guide in the lock. Otherwise, due to the tension of the hood drive, the cable in the guide may slip out, after which the locks will not open.
Since the bonnet is fitted and fastened in an unpainted bodywork, subsequent displacement of the bonnet may expose its unpainted surfaces.
1. Adjust the screw -1- of the hinges on the left and right, obtaining the dimension A = 12 mm.
2. Check stop -2-, replace hinge if necessary.
Hood Drive Adjustment
3. Adjust the hood drive so that it has no play.
The drive cable must not be under tension. For clarity, the drive and locks are shown in the removed state.
4. Fully screw in the hood stop.
Side mounted hood
5. Loosen the screws -2- and -3- of the hinges -1- on the left and right so that the hood can move. 4 - fastening the mass cable (refer to illustration 13.3).
6. Close the hood and align to the front and sides of the wings.
If the adjustment range is not enough, loosen the hood hinge screws and move the hinges on the body.
7. Carefully open the hood and fasten the hinge screws.
Hood height adjustment
8. Loosen the screws -1- securing both stops so that the stops can be moved. 3 - gripping hook.
9. Close the hood several times so that the locks can be aligned.
10. Tighten the screws securing the lock stops.
11. Unscrew the locknut -1- and turn the stop -2- with a socket wrench -3-.
12. Thus, set the hood to the same height in relation to the wings. At the same time, keep an eye on the parallel gap in relation to the front bumper.
13. Tighten locknut.
14. Check up, whether locks and hooks -4- interface correctly, if necessary repeat adjustment.
Stop adjustment
15. Open the hood.
16. Turn out an emphasis so that the cowl was under some tension. To do this, mold two columns about 10 mm high from plasticine. Install the posts on the stops and close the hood. Open the hood and measure the height of the stop and the compressed post. Unscrew the stops by the value of the resulting size + 0.5 mm. Thus, adjust all stops.
17. Check if the stop rests without play on all stops, otherwise repeat the adjustment.
The hood should not be higher than the fender, otherwise wind noise may occur when driving.
