How to Replace the Air Conditioning Compressor on a Smart 451?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Air conditioning

To replace the air conditioning compressor on a Smart 451, loosen the bolts securing the right rear wheel, completely removing it from its housing: after the wheel is removed, you can loosen the bolts securing the compressor, which will now be accessible. Additionally, by disconnecting its connectors and sliding the serpentine belt off the corresponding pulley, you can insert a new replacement part; this should then be properly secured and connected, ensuring it functions correctly.
