Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Engine mount
Operation: How to replace the front engine mount in the Smart Roadster?

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the front engine mount in the Smart Roadster, a simple operation that requires attention and good manual skills. First of all, wait for the engine to be completely cold, then lift the rear side of the vehicle, place a jack under the engine itself and remove the rear panel from the luggage compartment. Once this is done, identify the support in question, unscrew the fixing bolts and continue with its replacement. In case we need more working space, we can lower the rear deck slightly by loosening the indicated bolts.

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.
