S60 hood release tension

Post by selecw »

I have an 02 S60.

I just replaced a broken hood release cable and now am trying to figure out how to tension it.

It doesn't seem to have a tension adjuster next to the release, like some of the posts I have been reading.

I have tried moving the hood release catches further apart, but that doesn't do too much.

Thanks for the help!!

Where it broke? In cabin? Can you reach it and grab with a groove pliers? That's what I did, and it worked.
