Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Thermostat
Operation: How do you replace the Smart thermostat?

To replace the Smart thermostat, you need to open the engine compartment and locate the thermostat, which is located immediately under the windshield in the central part. Next, you have to go and remove the oil delivery valve, after having removed its four fixing bolts. At this point it will be possible to unscrew the bolts that fix the thermostat, to which the suction pipes are also connected. Therefore, it will also be necessary to unscrew the bolts located on the other end, in the final part of the suction pipes. When all the bolts have been loosened, it will be possible to go and take out the pipes and the thermostat, replacing them.

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.
