Guide to replace the glow plugs of the Smart Fortwo 450 Diesel

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Glow plugs

In today's video tutorial we will see how to disassemble and replace the glow plugs of the Smart Fortwo 450 Diesel engine, following the instructions below. First of all, let's move to the rear of the car and raise the floor to access the upper part of the engine; then let's disconnect the electrical cables or the pipettes of our glow plugs, so that we can access them, as shown in the video. At this point we use a socket wrench to unscrew and remove them; we just have to replace them with new ones, of the right type and with the same thermal gradation.
