Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil filter on Smart Fortwo

Let's see how to change the engine oil filter on Smart Fortwo. We lift our car with a column bridge or jack and go to open the engine compartment located in the luggage compartment. Using a socket wrench with a suitable socket, unscrew the pin placed under the oil pan, so as to drain the oil into a container for future disposal. After having drained all the oil well, let's screw the pin back into the oil pan. We unscrew the filter with a strap wrench; we lubricate the new filter and screw it in its seat. Finally, top up the oil pan with the new liquid following the manufacturer's recommendations.

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.
