Thick black cable hanging down from the hood lock

[bvez3ro]

Hi guys, my Bowdenzug got fixed and i can open the hood again. But what bothers me, that there is still a thick black cable hanging down from the hood lock. Anyone has that too? I didn\'t see that on photos.

Thanx guys

So take a pic and show us...
How can we tell you something about it

Sorry, i would have if i could. The cable is in the middle so it's nearly impossible to take a picture, cause of the angle. The kidney's block the sight.
I can't bend my lens.

Remove a kidney, then take a pic. Doesn't it take a minute or two. Otherwise, not sure what you're referring to.

That's correct, the upper is connected to the lock of the hood. Maybe a security issue.

...upper end...

The hood bowden cable is a two piece design. Sounds like your shop just flat-rated the repair and left the old cable in there. lol

The hood cable is #11 and #12.

Thx Dackel. Thought about that too. Will consult the dealer next week.

Everything is as it should be. The Bowdenzug Cable is a bit longer than i expected.
