Replacing the coolant on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

We replace the coolant of a Smart Fortwo. Let's see how it replaces. We open the plastic levers placed on the sides of the front grille with our hands. Once the fasteners in the front are released, push the hood panel downwards with your hands, then detach it. Once the front hood is removed, we carry out maintenance on our car. We unscrew the screw of the sleeve to let the liquid out under the vehicle (we use lifting jack). Top up the coolant in the dedicated tank once everything has been emptied. We close the front of the car with the cover.

How to Dismantle the Heating Radiator on a Mini Cooper

Let’s see how to dismantle the heating radiator on a Mini Cooper. First, remove the plastic cover of the centre tunnel (located under the centre tunnel on the left). Unscrew the securing screws with a screwdriver, and remove the black plastic cover that hides the heating radiator. Once all the described operations are completed, move to the engine bay: remove the plastic engine cover and disconnect the two hoses (unscrew the securing clips if present) of the radiator that goes into the cabin, allowing the fluid to drain. Disconnect the radiator from the pipes inside the cabin. Work in reverse for all the assembly steps.
