• Torque wrench - V.A.G 1331-

• Adjustment gauges - 3371-

Setting via the hinges

By adjusting the hinged nuts, the bonnet can be aligned crosswise and lengthwise to the wing. It cannot be adjusted in its height.

Note For setting using the hinges, you do not have to use the adjusting buffer -1- and -3- nor the bolts -6-.
