Removing the air fan on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Blower motor

Hello! Today we will explain a maintenance that many believe to be difficult but which actually takes very little time. On this car model, the air vent is located near the accelerator pedal, a little above and a little to the right of it. Changing this fan is actually a very simple job: just unscrew the fan itself, by hand (with a little force), and disconnect the wiring. To mount the new piece you have purchased, it will therefore be necessary to screw the fan after connecting it. Put it back correctly, as it was the original piece. The only difficulty is the hidden position of the fan.

How to replace the timing belt on a Chevrolet Matiz. Open the bonnet and secure it, lift the car on a column lift (if necessary, remove the front wheel using a screwdriver to take off the right wheel arch liner). Use a fixed spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Use a socket spanner to undo the securing bolt of the tensioner pulley, then remove the water pump as shown in the video. Fit the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket spanner. Finally, refit the rivets along with the wheel arch liner and reattach the wheel with the tyre to the vehicle.
