Attention: The Bowden cable that connects both hood locks must be adjusted without play. The cable sheath must always be in the lock guide. Otherwise, when opening the hood, the cable may slip out, after which the lock can no longer be opened.
Note: Because the hood is factory adjusted and bolted to the unpainted bodywork, when the hood is subsequently mixed, unpainted surfaces may be visible.
Set stop bolt -1- to dimension A = 25±1 mm.
Check limit buffer -2- for damage, replace hinge if necessary.
Adjustment of draft of the lock of a cowl
Using the adjusting device, adjust the draft so that there are no gaps.
Attention: the rope must not be under tension. For better representation, the Broden cable and locks are shown removed.
If the adjustment range is not sufficient, it must be changed using the adjusting screw -arrow-.
Screw in the limit buffers completely.
Side hood adjustment
Loosen left and right hinge bolts -1- and -2- until the hood can be moved.
Close engine compartment hood and align front and sides with fenders.
Attention: If a sufficient adjustment range is not ensured, loosen the bolts securing the hinges to the body and move the hinges relative to the body.
Carefully open the hood and tighten the hinge bolts.
Rear hood height adjustment
Adjust the height of the hood in the hinge area. To do this, close the hood and measure its height offset relative to the wings.
Support the engine compartment hood securely or have an assistant support it.
Unscrew bolts -1- and -2- and remove or insert shims according to the measured bonnet height offset.
Tighten the fastening bolts sequentially on the left and right.
Recheck the height offset of the hood and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
Front hood height adjustment
Loosen both bolts securing the locking pins to the extent that the pins can move.
Close the engine compartment hood several times to center the locks.
Attention: Do not lock the hood.
Tighten the bolts securing the locking pins.
Loosen lock nut -1- and turn locking pin -2- with a screwdriver.
In this way, adjust the position of the hood in height relative to the wings. At the same time, ensure that the gaps at the front cladding are parallel.
Tighten locknut firmly.
Check whether the locks and the locking hook function correctly, repeat the adjustment if necessary.
Limit buffer adjustment
Open the engine compartment hood.
Unscrew the restrictive buffers so that the hood does not touch them in the closed position. Make two cylinders approximately 10 mm high from chewing gum or bread mass, install these cylinders on both restrictive buffers and close the hood. Open the hood and measure the total height of the restrictive buffer with the deformed mass of the cylinder. After that, turn out each limiting buffer to the height of the corresponding measured distance +0.5 mm.
Check that there are no gaps between the restrictive buffers and the hood in the closed position. Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
Attention: The closed hood must not be higher than the fenders, otherwise it will cause wind noise when driving.
Measure the protrusion of the hood above the headlight lens. The prescribed dimension A must be 4±1 mm, otherwise adjust the position of the headlamp.
Loosen bolts -arrows- and move headlight forwards or backwards.
Attention: In this case, the headlight must not be in a tense state, if necessary, loosen and move the lower headlight mounting bolts.
If the headlight has moved, the headlight beam angle must be adjusted.
