Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Turbine
Operation: Turbine replacement on Smart Fortwo

Let's see how to disassemble the turbine of a Smart Fortwo. We lift the car with a jack to access the lower part of the rear engine compartment, remove the soundproofing panel from under the engine compartment (if available), unscrew the locking pins of the turbine (located in the engine compartment) with a socket wrench, remove the valve from the motor seat and disconnect the various power supply terminals with a screwdriver or needle nose pliers. After comparing the damaged valve with the new one, mount it on the engine block located in the compartment, tighten it well with the pins. After completing the assembly of the pieces, we just have to test the turbine.

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.
