Replacing the RPM sensor on Smart cars

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

Work with the engine off and the handbrake on. Remove the intercooler from the throttle body pipe by unscrewing the clamp as shown in the video, then disconnect the connector of the throttle body itself. Unscrew the four bolts now accessible with an 8 mm socket wrench. Disconnect the injection hoses and the hidden connector shown well in the video by pulling it and applying pressure on both tabs. Unscrew the screw next to the connector and, finally, you can extract the sensor relating to the number of revolutions of the crankshaft. Obviously, proceed backwards for the assembly.

Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
