Golf cars
1. Unscrew the bolts securing the lock bracket 11 to the hood 5 (see illustration).
2. Disconnect the upper support of the gas-filled strut 4 from the hood (see illustration 49.1).
3. Close the hood and check the gaps between the hood and adjacent body parts. The gaps between the hood and the right and left fenders should be the same width and parallel.
Gap width. Golf cars:
- The gap between the hood and the wing is 3.5±0.5 mm
- The gap between the hood and the headlight is 4.5±0.5 mm
If necessary, open the hood, loosen the nuts 1 on the hinges, as well as the bolts 7 with which the hood is attached to the body and adjust the hood, moving it to the left or right (see illustration 49.1).
4. Tighten the hood mounting bolts and nuts to 22 Nm.
5. Screw in the adjusting screws 8 until the rear of the hood fits snugly against the fenders (see illustration 49.1).
6. Screw in the adjusting buffers 10 so that the front of the hood fits tightly against the fenders (see illustration 49.1).
Attention! To facilitate the fitting of the hood, use putty or plasticine, which you stick to the adjustment buffers. When closing the hood, the plasticine will be compressed, which will allow you to determine the fit of the hood.
7. Tighten the bracket mounting bolts to 10 Nm.
8. Lubricate the hinges 3, bolts 7 and nuts 1 with protective grease to prevent corrosion (see illustration 49.1).
Touran cars
9. Unscrew the bolts securing the lock bracket 8 to the hood 1 (see illustration).
10. Disconnect the upper support of the gas-filled strut 6 from the hood (see illustration 49.9).
11. Close the hood and check the gaps between the hood and adjacent body parts. The gaps between the hood and the right and left fenders should be the same width and parallel.
Gap width. Touran cars:
- The gap between the hood and the wing is 3.0 + 1 mm
- The gap between the hood and the headlight is 4.0 +1 mm
If necessary, open the hood, loosen the nuts 3 on the hood hinges and adjust the hood by moving it to the left or right (see illustration 49.9).
12. Loosen the bolts 4 securing the hinges to the body and adjust the height of the hood (see illustration (49.9).
