Genuine Volvo S40 Hood Latch

Volvo S40 Hood Latch ensures that the bonnet is secured so that it does not fly up and thus obstruct the view of the driver during travel. This little but crucial hook can be found immediately beneath the front of the hood, and it is applied with an interior release handle and a steel cable that connects the cabin to the latch assembly so that the driver can pop the hood when it is necessary to do something with the engine instead of the other way around. The position of the handle also depends on the model year, where it is sometimes stowed beneath the steering wheel, other times embedded in the door frame or by the side of the seat, but all of them serve a similar purpose of protecting the engine, radiator and battery against debris and the elements. There were two mechanisms across the S40 range. The first type of car applied a single-stage mechanism which was later enhanced with the use of a second safety catch that should be pulled after opening it from the cabin, providing a form of additional security. Trim or production year notwithstanding, all Volvo Hood Latch units utilize three identical components to complete their job, i.e., the inside handle, the flexible cable and the spring-loaded latch plate in the car's nose. Cable tension pulls the hook together and releases it when one wants the hood raised, and when the panel is pushed down, the spring will release the hook once more, maintaining the traditional Volvo reputation for reliability. Periodic maintenance of the arm and spring of the Hood Latch thus continues to be one of the highly straightforward measures to keep the Volvo running.
