Removing the Air Fan on Smart Fortwo

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

Hello! Today, I will explain a maintenance task that many believe is difficult but actually takes very little time. On this model of car, the air fan is located near the accelerator pedal, slightly above and to the right of it. Changing this fan is actually very simple: just unscrew the fan itself by hand (with a bit of force) and disconnect the wiring. To install the new part you purchased, simply screw in the fan after connecting it. Refit it correctly, just like the original part. The only difficulty lies in the hidden position of the fan.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
