Smart Car ForTwo W450 Front Bumper Panel Removal ( how to open bonnet ! )

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we show hot to remove the front bumper / wings / bonnet / bumper on the Smart ForTwo W450 model. Its not that tricky and as it does not have an opening bonnet it is often necessary to remove this front panel to do any work on the car ! You will need to remove the front panels to .... check brake fluid / adjust the headlights / replace headlamp bulb / fix the washer pump etc

    Whilst you have the front end off, make sure you clear the cabin air intake drain out. It will be clogged full of dirt and grime and will cause leaks into the cabin otherwise.

    Good video, nicely explained, really helped me today, thanks! Only thing I might add would be how the plastic grill piece clips from low down. A little up pressure and gently wriggle it out of the housing. Thanks again!

    Hi - all air temp sensors need to have a wire ( normally 2 wires ) going to them as they work on resistance.

    it is possible to fill up coolant by removing the grille on the passenger side (england) and removing the intake for the blower , the other side accesses the brakefluid and i think the wiperfluid and if you know braille you can even replace the lightbulbs through there (though its a test of patience for sure ) its eazier to get the front off

    I practice these removing ever on my 450er smart when a headlight bulb is not more working. I remove the complete front panel and changed on these way all bulbs which are in the lights. It is easier then to break your finger when you try to do it through the small plastic parts on the panel. It needs about the same time and your finger will be without damage !
