Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Pump
Operation: How to replace the washer fluid pump in the Smart 450

First of all we must, to access the washer fluid pump, open the front hood of the engine compartment. The washer fluid reservoir and its pump are located immediately under the windshield, offset slightly to the right of the engine compartment (as shown in the images). Removing the washer fluid pump is a very simple operation. Before doing so, it is advisable to place a basin under the car, in correspondence with the washer fluid reservoir, because some liquid should fall on the ground. Now we proceed to disconnect the electric power supply of the motor that pushes the water and we disassemble the pump to replace it with the new one. The new piece should cost around 20 euros.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
