How to remove and refit the Hood Latch on Volvo S70?

To remove the hood latch, first open the hood and mark the position of the latch and its mounting bracket on the relevant side with a felt tip pen. Next, undo the two bolts that secure the hood latch to the mounting bracket. If applicable, disconnect the wiring plug from the alarm system hood latch switch, which is only fitted to the left-hand latch assembly. Then, lift off the latch, disconnect the interconnecting release cable, and, depending on the side being worked on, also disconnect the release cable leading from the release handle before removing the latch. For refitting, reverse the removal process by taking up the slack in the interconnecting release cable by moving the latch laterally in the mounting bracket. Adjust the height of the latch for a correct fit and closure of the hood by moving the mounting bracket up or down as necessary.

Volvo S70 Hood Latch

The Volvo S70 Hood Latch helps secure the hood of the vehicle during driving and ensures that it does not open due to sudden lifts, protecting important parts of the vehicle such as the engine, radiator, and battery against road debris. It is a Hood Latch based on a basic yet reliable design that connects an interior release handle to the front locking catch using a flexible metal cable. The steering wheel handle, mounted below the steering wheel or on the driver's side of the door frame (trim specific), is pulled to loosen the primary catch; then a small exterior lever is applied to lift the hood without causing any damage. In all S70 model years the same mechanism can be found, and therefore the owners are not faced with any confusing differences, only slight changes in the placement of the cabin handle. Since all Volvos of such a size share the same three-piece assembly, the replacement processes and parts remain simple. Volvo has gained a reputation for being reliable, and thus the latch is made of corrosion-resistant metal, and the spring-loaded catch is sturdy enough to withstand vibration and rough weather easily. Other pure race cars will be equipped with external hood pins to provide extra reinforcement in extreme-speed situations, but the factory Volvo Hood Latch itself is up to the security requirements of routine travel. By maintaining cable fray alertness and ensuring that the original Volvo latch remains soft to the touch and free of dirt, years of one-handed operation and a sound seal will be maintained.
