How to remove and refit a hood on Volvo V50?

To remove the hood, open the hood first and disconnect the hoses from the washer jets. If applicable, disconnect the wiring plugs of the washer jet and remove the loom from the hood. On the underside of the hood, mark around the hinge bracket with a felt tip pen as reference to refit and then prise out the clip and pull out the support. With help, hold the hood and undo the hinge bolts and remove the hood and store it safely. For refitting, put pads of rags under the corners of the hood near the hinges to protect the paintwork. Fit the hood, and insert the bolts for the hinge, nipping these up in the positions marked on them. Reconnect washer tube and wiring plugs and close the hood, check fit, slacken bolts and reposition hood if necessary. When the adjustment is correct, tighten the hinge bolts firmly and refit the support.

Volvo V50 Hood

The Volvo V50 Hood serves as a robust shield for the wagon that keeps the engine compartment dry and free of rain, gravel and other debris, in addition to directing air to flow smoothly over the nose. The hinged panel is easy to lift to check belts or fluids, and then secures to keep the parts safe while driving. The panel in the engine bay of each Volvo must be able to withstand dents but crumble in a crash, hence the choice of material matters. The three primary goals that will be achieved by the lifetime owners of the model will correspond to three objectives. The conventional steel is as strong as factory gauge and has foreseeable impact absorption, the fiberglass is lighter than steel and is painted with a glossy gelcoat, and the carbon fiber is even lighter and has a modern weave appearance. Whatever the recipe, every replacement is an imitation of the original size, allowing the gaps to fit where the fenders and lamps fall, allowing wind to pass rather than drag. Customers may have an option of a primed surface or they may choose to use the bare gelcoat on the side since they like the stock sheen. A panel that is of high quality, with a year imprint, keeps your Volvo looking fresh, allows your car to cut through the air efficiently, and ensures that the next time you need to perform the Hood routine check. Hood materials can also be chosen as well, which is an additional splash of style to any V50 and would give it a new look that would match the other Volvo family members.
