240d difficult to pop hood
Hi,
Ive been trying to fix up an 83 240d, and have noticed that it is difficult to pop the hood. You need to pull on the hood release cable much harder than you should have to. Ive given the latch on the hood a good dose of wd40, but it only helped a little. Is there something else I should be lubricating? Or does this just mean I should replace the hood release cable? As always, appreciate all the help here! Thanks! |

The release on my 81 is also not releasing but instead of futzing with the cable and latch, I temporarily unscrewed the bracket that holds the release lhandle under the dash and hung it loosely by the parking brake pedal and now when I pull on it, the hood latch releases. I will do a proper fix this winter when I park the car.
