Opening the hood of the Volkswagen Transporter T4 1990 - 2003

Parts and consumables:

• Cloth gloves (optional)

1.  Grasp the handle and open the front door on the driver's side.

2.  Inside the car, under the dashboard, on the left side, there is a lever for opening the hood.

3.  Pull the hood release lever towards you until you hear a click, which indicates that the hood has opened. The hood of the Volkswagen Transporter T4 will rise slightly.

Note:

The absence of a click when pressing the lever usually indicates that the hood latch cable has broken.

Very often,  car owners put an electronic lock on the doors and hood, which can only be opened using the alarm control key fob. With its prolonged use, it is usually impossible to open the doors mechanically. Therefore, be sure to scroll through the standard larvae of the Volkswagen Transporter T4 locks from time to time with a key.

4.  In the front of the car, under the front edge of the hood, there is a hood opening latch. To open the hood, put your hand under it with the palm down and reach the latch. Move the hood latch to the left side and lift up the hood cover.

5.  Under the hood, a stop is fixed in a special latch. 

6. Remove the Volkswagen Transporter T4 hood stop from the latch and install it at a special socket on the right side of the hood cover, thereby fixing the hood in the raised position.

7.  To close the Volkswagen Transporter T4 hood, lower it smoothly so that it closes under its own weight, or press it firmly on both sides (a characteristic click should be heard).

Warning:

If you find that the hood  is open while driving, stop immediately and close it.

Note:

After installing the support leg, make sure that the leg is securely installed in the appropriate hole in the hood and there is no possibility of it unexpectedly falling. If you doubt the reliability of the standard stop or it is simply missing, then pick up a strong bar of suitable length and install it between the body and the hood cover.

When closing the hood, make sure you remove the support leg and secure it securely in the appropriate mount: closing the hood with the leg unfolded can damage the hood.
