How to refill the windshield washer fluid on a Smart car.

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how to top up the water (or rather, the appropriate liquid) in the windshield washer of a Smart car. On the front of the vehicle, there are two grilles; on the one in front of the passenger, there is a small screw. We can open it with a small screwdriver or even with the car key itself. This way, the grille comes off and gives access to the windshield washer fluid cap. It is better to use the appropriate liquid because it is a cleaner and does not freeze in winter. A 4.5-liter pack costs 6.5 euros on Amazon, plus delivery charges. From here, with a small funnel, we can top up the windshield washer fluid.

How to Remove the Air Vents on an Alfa Romeo 159

This video shows how to remove the air vents on an Alfa Romeo 159. Start by using a plastic trim tool to detach the air vents located in the central dashboard; if you have difficulty, obtain metal hooks (as shown in the video) and insert them into the air vent. Once the two hooks are secured to the edges of the air vent, pull them out with your hands until the vent is removed from its housing. Repeat this procedure for the other air vents present on the car's dashboard. Finally, install the new vents.
