Gear lever maintenance on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Transmission

First, wrap the attachment of the knob to the gear lever with a lot of paper tape or with rags, then use a rather large pliers (perhaps those with snap grip) to unscrew slightly, by about 45 degrees, the aforementioned attack. The fact of wrapping it therefore has the purpose of avoiding damaging it. Now pull the knob with your hand, turning it slightly at the same time to help it come out of its seat. Grease the plastic area at the top of the gear lever, then the lever itself and the internal attachment, with a special spray such as the HHS 2000. Reassemble the knob on the lever.

How to Remove the Engine Oil Filter of the Peugeot 308

How do you remove the engine oil filter of the Peugeot 308? Follow this guide to proceed with the replacement. Open the car door and pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the front bonnet and secure it. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the large securing bolt of the container cap where the oil filter is located (engine compartment under the ventilation pipe). Drain the used oil from under the engine sump. Remove the worn oil filter and position a new one, ensuring it adheres well around the walls of the housing. Finally, refit the ventilation pipe and top up the engine oil. Close the front bonnet last.
