Replacing the Air Con Compressor - 2008 Smart Fortwo 451 84bhp Turbo Passion

- In previous videos I replaced the air con condenser and regassed the system with R134A refrigerant. The air conditioning was briefly functional before the compressor failed rather spectacularly. In this video I fit a replacement used but genuine compressor, along with both poly-v belts.

Loving mechanic work in socks and flippies!
the only way ;-)
Excellent, refreshing to see the true obstacles.
Congratulations, regards from Athens Greece..😊
Love the video, thank you for showing us one way to lower the engine enough to replace the compressor. If I need to replace mine I will be doing it the same way.
Well, what to say. These videos / tutorials of yours are always greatly inspiring and instructive. Cheers mate!
Excelent video. I need replacing my compressor. I am from Mexico.
Thanks for your video.
Love your Love of Smart for Two 😊
Wieder ein sehr gut erklärtes Video, super Arbeit!!! 👍

Thanks for another great video. Tell me how to fix the motor in smart? I have not washed it for 15 years, very dirty
Do you remember what size aircon belt you used? Im trying to get a gates 4pk738 on and it looks nowhere near big enough! Great video cheers!
Good job ATC👍
Hi, absolutely fantastic video! My compressor went bad last year. I have been quoted around £750 for new compressor, belts and regas. I was under the impression that the engine had to be lowered using special extension bolts, then disconnecting pipes and electrical plugs from the rear of the engine. Which after watching your video, it shows a much, much easier way. I initially thought it was the clutch plate spinning and making the grinding noise, but I was able to swap that over with the engine in place, but unfortunately, the noise was still there. Could you tell me how long it took you to do that job. Many thanks.
Buen video,ist good
That was great
How will you check for leaks? What if there is one at the fittings? Can you reach them once back all assembled?
A vacuum will be pulled and held prior to recharging system. Just like any other replacement component, we can only take standard precautionary measures such as replacing o-rings as I did. There is dye in the PAG oil which should highlight any leaks with use of UV lamp.
Just came from the mechanics to see if he can add some freon but unfortunately he said my compressor is no good. Is there anything you recommend i do before i buy a replacement? Or in your opinion, just get the compressor?
I think I’d ask further questions in terms of how he arrived at that decision and in what way he thinks it has failed. Air conditioning systems do not like long periods of inactivity and if it has been defective a while or if the system has had a leak and been open to elements a while, it can happen.
@@autoknight747 he plugged in the freon machine and said he had it at 60 psi and the air was not getting cold.
Thanks to you, I was able to repair my Smart Fortwo 2008 car. Thank you, it’s very good.
Was it you who did a vid about a visit to Smart Tecnic in Birmingham, or Smart ER please ? I can't find it on either channel.
Not me!
Hi sir, thank u. Excellent video. Can you please tell me what other belt services this engine model needs compare to MHD versions (wich i avoid, im gonna buy a 84 hp one), Thanks
I believe the poly-v belt replacement interval to be 60.000 miles (100,000 km) on the 84bhp. I’ve never seen one snap!
@@autoknight747 Ok thank u Sir, is this the smaller belt? Please make a video on this if it needs changing, thanks again
@@alexanhellberg They both would both be done at the same time. I did both in this video.
@@autoknight747 hahaha sorry, ok thanks, thats the only belt it needs/has?
@@alexanhellberg The only two. Timing chain should be maintenance free!
I take my hat off too you.
is the air con working now
It is, beautifully. Re-gassed yesterday and it is ice cold!
