5 Series E39 525i (M54) SAL
Unscrew nut (1) and turn lockpin (2) to adjust height of the
engine hood.
Adjust hood lid to same height on both side walls.
Ensure that uniform gap is obtained on front trim.
Tighten nut.
Check for correct locking of locks and retaining hook, adjusting if
necessary.
Adjust detent buffer on hood lid:
Raise hood lid.
Unscrew detent buffer until hood lid is under slight preload.
Procedures:
The dimension by which the detent buffer should be unscrewed
can be determined as follows:
Shape some butylene tape until two columns about 10 mm in
height are formed.
Then place these on the two detent buffers (top or bottom detent
buffer) then close the hood lid.
Open hood lid and measure the dimension of the compressed
butylene tape.
Unscrew detent buffer for a distance of + 0.5 mm until the hood lid
is under slight preload.
Follow same procedure on the other detent buffers.
After the adjustment, check that hood lid is flush against detent
buffers and if necessary repeat the adjustment.
Caution!
The hood lid must not protrude beyond the front side panels
since this otherwise gives rise to wind noise.
