Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Gear oil
Operation: How to replace the gearbox oil in the Smart Roadster?

In this tutorial we can see how to change the gearbox oil in the Smart Roadster, a very simple and fast operation, to be done every 100,000 km or so. First of all, let's wait for the engine to cool down, then lift the left rear side, locate the two bolts indicated and, using a T50 Torx key, unscrew them both. Once all the oil contained inside the gearbox has drained out, tighten the lower bolt and introduce the required amount of oil from the upper hole. For this last phase we can help ourselves with a pump or a hose.

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.
