Hey guys, this week the rope pull to open the bonnet on my handle was torn. Since I had a lot of pain yesterday and you always have experiences, shortly after you could have used them, I wanted to share mine. The bowden pull runs from the hood lock under the battery carrier, air filter box along the spring leg to the spray wall in a kind of bellows, which then also makes a small left turn. In the inside everything comes then behind the relay box in the driver’s footroom like r out. First out the battery and air filter box. Punch all the relays inside and put them aside. Out the cover from the fuse box and then the 3 screws with which the SK itself is screwed on. Out the clamps over the two large cable strands and then pull out the SK a good bit up. Now you get from the inside to the cable entry. From the engine compartment no one can reach if you have not just removed the ABS block anyway. But even then children’s hands are still too gr My first plan to stick the new train to the old one and pull both through ended with the fact that I had the old train outside but did not have the new one in it. The simplest variant is the following: Hang out Bowden train at the hood lock and pull only the train out of the shell. The cover remains where it is. Kneep off the old train a little bit at the torn off end. Kneep off the hull about between the battery floor and air filter box. Now the old train with the pinched side ahead of it. Now put the ball ends of the old and the new train on top of each other and tighten them with a small cable tie. Now the whole thing can be pulled out wonderfully from the engine compartment. Now everything can be connected again and assembled and finished. I had spent 2 hours pushing the old pulled out shell back into the passage to lead the new train from the inside to the outside. That was only possible with etl I hope it helps and the change is quick and will not cause any frustration repair. VG Janko
