Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: EGR valve
Operation: How do you remove the EGR valve from the Smart car?

In order to remove the EGR valve from the Smart car, you need to open the rear hatch so that you can access the engine compartment. Underneath it, you will be able to locate the EGR valve, directly connected to the exhaust manifold. To remove it from its housing, you will need to loosen the screws that hold it in place and then disconnect the appropriate connectors. This way, you will be able to completely remove the old component and insert the new one. By properly fastening and connecting it, you can verify that everything is functioning correctly.

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.
