If the engine compartment lid is to be reused,
mark the positions of the hinges on the lid
itself to facilitate adjustment upon reassembly.
Detach the windscreen washer pipe (1) from the
engine compartment lid (A), releasing the two

the screws (4) fastening the lid to the hinges
(5) on both sides.
Remove the complete engine compartment lid
(A) and set down in a safe place.
Check for shims between the engine
compartment lid and the hinges: retrieve
any shims and keep for subsequent
reassembly.
Fit the complete engine compartment lid (A),
after refitting any shims removed during
disassembly, fitting the screws in the holes in
the hinges (5).
When refitting the same lid, use the markings

facilitate lid adjustment.
From both sides, hand tighten the screws (4)
fastening the engine compartment lid (A) to
the hinges (5).
Connect the windscreen washer pipe (1) to the
