How to remove and refit the Hood Release Cable assembly on Volvo S70?

The hood release cable assembly is made up of two parts - one part runs from the release handle in the passenger compartment to whichever hood lock it is supposed to, while the other part connects the two hood locks. To remove it, open the hood, disconnect the inner hood release cable end from the release handle, and remove the outer hood release cable and adjuster from the support bracket. Next, pull the hood release cable through the bulkhead grommet and disconnect the other end from the corresponding hood lock, release the cable ties, and take the hood release cable out. Loosen the lock bolts of the hood and move the locks in closer proximity to allow slack in the interconnecting hood release cable, then disconnect the hood release cable ends from the lock levers, release the cable ties, and remove the hood release cable. For refitting, reverse the removal steps by adjusting the threaded section of the hood release cable at the release lever end to remove most slack in the resting position and adjusting the interconnecting hood release cable by lateral movement of the hood locks. Finally, make sure that all bolts are tightened in place when finished.

Volvo S70 Hood Release Cable

The Volvo S70 Hood Release Cable allows the owner to open the hood from inside the cabin and make routine checks or repairs quickly and safely. The primary cable is actuated by a heavy interior lever behind the dash, which pulls to a junction block underneath the hood, where two secondary lines run to the location of each latch; thus it only takes a single smooth pull to release both catches, and the lock click is audible to all Volvo drivers. The braided steel within its plastic casing may crack over the years due to heat, vibration, and weather conditions, allowing moisture to creep in and corrode the strands, thereby reducing pull strength and leaving the hood trapped in the locked position. When that occurs, replacing the entire assembly restores easy opening since a new Hood Release Cable is pre-lubricated and sealed to prevent rust. Each production year uses the same two-stage design, but owners can observe two distinct parts during the replacement, not one continuous wire, but a main cockpit-to-junction lead and shorter latch leads, making it easy to install and adjust. The simple way of detecting early stretch or fray before failure is to perform a regular check of the interior lever's feel. By making sure that this small component remains intact, any Volvo owner maintains access to essential fluids and belts, makes roadside repairs carefree, and maintains the unique nose of the retro-famous S70 series intact. A Hood Release Cable is cheaper than body damage or towing; hence a timely response saves enormous amounts of peace of mind for keen Volvo fans.
