Smart ForTwo 451 Fitting A New Exhaust - Genuine Smart Part Installed
I bought ANOTHER Smart Car ... this time a 2011 Smart ForTwo Night Orange edition. One of only 235 ever made!
Why? Well because my Smart 450 is getting on in its life and the colour ... well I just fell in love with it.
In this video Dad and I fit the brand new exhaust to the car! This was from Mercedes Benz Smart of Newcastle and cost just over £280 including the fitting kit.
Part numbers are:
Exhaust: A1324900015
Fitting Kit: Z451E

Good job reinstalling the exhaust. Genuine parts definitely the correct way to go...£300 is cheap these days. I repeat my last comment...the Auto Knight videos on a 451 are superb and will save you a lot of time in the long run as he gives many tips on how things are disassembled correctly. Mercedes spent a lot of time thinking about how to shove a vast amount of technology into such a small package and knowing how to work on them is half the battle. Few garages know how. Strangely, many things are a LOT easier dropping the engine a tad using long service bolts... it's a lot easier than you think. Things to check: All the springs ..these break often with potholes. Engine mounts...there are three...after 15 years these are likely perished. ABS reluctor rings for corrosion. Judging by the overall condition these may need changing. They are behind the hubs. Check the Tridion shell for corrosion and wire brush and treat any you find with Waxoyl or similar...you don't want corrosion on that area at all. Good luck with the rest of your restoration ❤

John, you need to buy your Dad a set of Torx sockets instead of letting him struggle using ring spanners 😉

@JonCoupland 3 месяца назад

@Jaxs2 3 месяца назад

Yes, Jon best way to go 🙏... i know it must of hurt because of the amount of times you said 300 pounds 😂 My 450 is still on its original exhaust... so you will probably get even longer than 15 years as you will look after better , your dad's a absolute Gem 👌 brilliant guys , look forward to the next installment 👍

@JonCoupland 3 месяца назад

@JonCoupland I've been looking at the pricing for parts on the 451 ... the only thing cheaper is the 3 spark plugs instead of six 🫣 maybe it's just a more current vehicle 🤔

👍👍 Good work dad! i can't remember the last time I saw a pattern part go on as easily as that exhaust - even given the difficult access. Amazing how crusty it all is under there for 2011. I guess being hauled around the country (front end lifted?) pushed a load of road grime and salt under there.

@JonCoupland 3 месяца назад

We can't understand it either. I think that's a good way of thinking though!

@robingiles9444 3 месяца назад

If the car is a 2011 and it is now 2024 surely it is 13 years old and not 15 as you keep saying? Sorry to be pedantic. I do love these videos 🙂even though you have put me off Smart cars completely 🤣

@JonCoupland 3 месяца назад

You are absolutely right (ive been rounding up) - ill make sure i refer to it as 13 years from now on (in new footage shot :) )

Those exhaust bolts (technically, they're screws) are an E-Torx head. I'm surprised your dad doesn't have any such spanners or sockets (something else you can buy for him). The genuine parts were money well spent.
