Smart Forfour - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Forfour MK 1, W454 - Years 2004-2006
Part: V-belt
Operation: How do you replace the V-belt of the Smart Forfour?

In order to replace the serpentine belt of the Smart Forfour, you need to loosen the screws that secure the front wheel to its housing, and then remove the inner lining of the wheel arch: here it will be possible to remove the serpentine belt from its pulleys and the alternator. This way, you can position the new replacement part to ensure it rotates correctly. Once the new serpentine belt has been inserted, you can proceed to reassemble all the components that were previously removed.

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.
