Replace low beam lights on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Headlight bulb

Do we want to remove the damaged bulbs of the Smart Fortwo? To begin we remove the front hood of the Smart and find the rear cover of the headlights. We remove the protective cover from behind the headlight in order to get to the bulbs that we are going to replace. We remove the bulbs from inside the lighthouse and then from the lamp holder (where the electric cable is connected). Once we have removed all the damaged bulbs from inside the headlights we just have to replace them with new ones. We check the operation of the headlight bulbs, then mount the front hood panel.

Tips on How to Change the Glow Plugs on 1.3 MJT Engines

The 1.3 CDTI engine is used in many models from Fiat, Lancia, Opel, and Suzuki, making glow plug wear a common issue. The glow plugs are located at the front of the engine, just in front of the rocker cover. Simply remove the engine cover to locate them. A quick functionality check can be done by disconnecting the connector and gently touching the glow plug with an electric wire connected to the positive terminal of the battery: if a spark occurs, the glow plug is fine. A problem that may arise during replacement is that the glow plug may not unscrew. It is advisable to spray some penetrating oil and let it sit overnight before unscrewing it with an 8 mm socket. Before installing the new one, apply some special grease and do not exceed the torque specification.
