My filters arrived from amazon today, intake as well as cabin filter. You gave this ole girl the confidence to tackle these two items. Woo hoo, and if all else fails....I’ll bribe my husband with a pint and a burger lol.

Well done, very descriptive and entertaining commentary! Good camera angles as well.

this was really well done ...wish I'd have seen it before I followed another video that didn't show or mention the tube slips on before the clips....I'll be able to buy another Smart with all the money in my swear jar....Thanks

Thanks for the video! I also had a hard time getting the hard shell off and out of the car because of the rubber hose- I ended up having to remove the hose all together and then putting it back on when ready to replace everything. Smells so much better in the car now, thanks! :)

A smart without a steering wheel 😳 in Belgium we have smarts with a steering wheel 😊😜 excepth that nice video 👍

I live in america or as some people call it "retardistan" where people think big SUV's and huge trucks are what you should drive and everyone hates the smart fortwo. I like my 2015 smart and I don't care what people think of it. I just changed my oil and changed my pads and rotors. I checked out your video before making any attempt on my own and I am glad I did because of that middle hidden clasp (seems to me it isn't needed) and I shall check it out and maybe make a tool of my own for it. Thank you for taking the time to make your video.

Could you please do a video on how to replace the spring in a fuel door of a 2008 smart car thanks

nice and useful video, thanks

Weather as well as work load has been bad over in the colonies, so four weeks later I installed both filters, cabin as well as air filter. The cover took a little persuasion and some sweet talk “#$*ing but I was able to remove it. I didn’t need the coat hanger thingy as my hands are a wee bit smaller and I was able to reach under the hose to remove it as well as install it back. Without watching you remove the cover, I would have been afraid to break something, but with a little woman handling it, I was able to remove and install it without much bad words said. As for the filter, I must say it appeared to be OEM and was as if not more filthy than the cabin filter. I imagine besides piece of mind knowing it was installed, I’m looking forward to a little better fuel economy as well performance. Another project accomplished thanks to Smart ER, money saved, hmmmmmm maybe I’ll get my nails done lol, I’m going to need a Mani after wrestling with that cover. Thank you Gareth for all your help, it’s well appreciated.

Aloha and my thanks as well for the video...it was a 10 minute job but I can already see replacing the cheap sharp edged hose clamps and the corrugated hose with a piece of silicone hose and good clamps will be a future project.

If you have a later model ('12ish) passion Gasoline, the corrugated tube is a little different. I recommend completely removing the tube before taking the intake box cover off, then when reassembling put the tube on first as you wrestle the cover back into place. Trust me it helps.

Great video, any differences for a Diesel air filter change?

thanks

Hi, erm i’ve had a smart for over 2 years now and i would love to know what that yellow cover near the air filter is for ? Could you help us please !

οκ, great! just a clarification this video is for the engine's air filter...

Right next to the air box housing it has a big plastic box .. What is that for ?? Is that Necessary??

Would this be the same for 2006 Passion?

Wow... I can't believe how much I paid for let someone do this...

Tip tip: change out new engine air filter and oil filter in between oil changes for better engine life.

I can't get the filter cover to sit back on correctly, I'll get the feet in the back locked in but the front is at an angle where the clips are so far away from being able to latch. Losing my mind over here lol

Rajesh ki price Urdu zubaan Mein ja Punjabi mein bataiye uski price kya hai Braham Mein bandi Hai smart kar ki price kya hai shukriya

Trust me it's not this fast or easy. Two me over an hr giving up coming back trying again. Getting it out isn't to bad but putting it back on it very very hard. The rubber hose is very stiff. His looked like it moved pretty easy but my car has I think 80k most stop and go traffic and ilding a lot.

This is one of the most ridiculous cars I have ever worked on

wow that's a bitch to get to

Ah german engeneers why not make bigger cover to gain full reach to the engine

Such a shit design putting it there, the back clips are almost impossible to get in!
