Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 454, Fourfour1 - Years 2004-2006
Part: EGR valve
Operation: How to remove the EGR valve of a Smart ForTwo

Before we can begin, we will have to open the tailgate of our Smart ForTwo, and then reach the engine compartment. So let's start by disconnecting the iron fittings connected to the EGR valve, unscrewing the bolts that secure them. After that, we will have to disconnect the relative electrical connectors. At this point, we will have to unscrew and remove the bolts that secure the valve to its base. By doing so, we will have freed the EGR valve. When we have completed this step, we will be able to remove the EGR valve of our Smart ForTwo, and we will have successfully completed the disassembly.

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.
