We have done them by just removing the alternator and lowering the engine slightly at the front of the car end. Didn't touch the intake manifold or the oil solenoid. job was quick and easy. Most of the work is done from the top.
Great video! One question, do you know where the coolant bleed valve/plug is on the Diesel CDI engine? I did a cooling flush on my 2009 ForTwo CDI but could not find the bleed point location that I know should be near the cylinder head to bleed the air out of the tubing. Now the car is overheating with the water not circulating and I guess full of air pockets everywhere. I've searched all over the Internet and the all the information available is only for the gasoline engine not the diesel. Thank you very much😊😊😊
to remove the 4 bolts on the intake its easy and simple. actually i would say maybe half an hour, and everything is done from the top. God bless you all
after i removed the four bolts on the intake manifold it doesn't move at all? i got the alternator side to move a little bit but the other side nothing. any ideas?

Would I have to lower by removing the Sametime motor mount

How do u know its the thermostat thats at fault?
Everyone keeps saying 4 bolts for the intake easy but I've removed 4 bolts and this thing isn't budging so which four bolts folks
I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? A different comment says that there are actually 5 bolts.
There are 5. The last one is on the left side
are you kidding me, man we should have just junked our car.
Just drop the engine than becomes so easy to work on
Hello? 2008 smart fortwo no heat, the code reader said? temperature sensor where is that everybody knows??? thanks all the input...!

(Forgive me for the bad grammar)
What 4 bolts? Where? How? Never showed how to remove manifold.
What's the easiest way to remove lower bolt on thermostat housing

I've done a water pump change and it's very confined but doable without lowering the engine.
How do you remove water pump?
