Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Diesel fuel filter

Let's see in this guide the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the diesel filter of the Smart Fortwo 800 CDI. First of all we lift the car and start by unscrewing the screw of the bracket of our diesel filter, in order to remove it; then we disconnect the fuel inlet and outlet pipes and unscrew the screw to loosen the bracket from the diesel filter, as shown in the video. At this point we replace the filter with the new one, with the original spare; reassemble the filter on the bracket and connect the two pipes, applying the reverse procedure!
