When is it necessary to recharge the air conditioning?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Air conditioning

In this video, we are explained when it is necessary to recharge the air conditioning in our car. In this case, it is a Smart car, but the concept is valid for any type of vehicle: under normal circumstances, it is something that should never be done unless there are issues with the air conditioning system not working properly inside the cabin. In this case, using a special device that workshops have, leaks in the system are found. In fact, simply recharging without finding the fault - which is likely a leak - does not solve the situation, and can even make it worse.

How to Replace the Right Fog Light Bulb on a Ford Fiesta

Replacing the fog light bulb on the passenger side, which uses an H11 fitting (the bulb holder also integrates the connector for the power supply), can be done either by accessing from underneath the vehicle by removing some covers, or more simply by dismantling the headlight. Once the headlight is removed, it is easy to reach the fog light housing and release the bulb by rotating the entire bulb holder. Disconnect the connector, connect the new bulb, and insert it into the bulb holder, rotating it until it locks in place.
