  Q: How to remove and refit of the Hood Latch on Mercedes-Benz 190E?

  A:

  To remove the hood latch, first release the locking stud on the front panel next to the support strut and take off the cover under the latch. For vehicles equipped with air conditioning, undo the two screws to move the fan, then release the four upper clips and shift the radiator rearwards for better access. Next, disconnect the release cable at the latch lever and support bracket, then undo the two retaining bolts to take the latch off the front panel. For refitting, follow the reverse order of removal. Minor adjustments to the closing action can be made by loosening the lower mounting bolt of the front panel support strut and slightly moving the strut and panel up or down as needed.

  Q: How should you maintain and lubricate the Antenna, Door Hinge, Door Lock, Hood Hinge and Hood Latch in the petrol engine on Mercedes-Benz 190E?

  A:

  Lubricate the hinges of the bonnet, doors, and tailgate with a light general-purpose oil, and also lubricate all latches, locks, and lock strikers while checking the security and operation of all locks, adjusting them if necessary. Lightly lubricate the bonnet release mechanism and cable with a suitable grease. If an electric aerial is fitted, extend the aerial, remove all traces of dirt from its mast, lubricate the mast with a light general-purpose oil, and then retract the aerial. For models with a sunroof, slide the roof fully back, clean the sunroof guide rails, apply a smear of fresh multi-purpose grease to the rails, and close the sunroof.
