- 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.

Congratulations, regards from Athens Greece..😊
Excellent, refreshing to see the true obstacles.
Loving mechanic work in socks and flippies!
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.
Excelent video. I need replacing my compressor. I am from Mexico.
Well, what to say. These videos / tutorials of yours are always greatly inspiring and instructive. Cheers mate!
Love your Love of Smart for Two 😊
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.
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!
Wieder ein sehr gut erklärtes Video, super Arbeit!!! 👍
Good job ATC👍
Buen video,ist good
Thanks for another great video. Tell me how to fix the motor in smart? I have not washed it for 15 years, very dirty
That was great
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.
How will you check for leaks? What if there is one at the fittings? Can you reach them once back all assembled?
I take my hat off too you.
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?
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
is the air con working now
