tyc Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 For a while now, the left headlight has been fogging up. I took the headlight apart to look for the crack/break but it's intact. I took the lens apart and insulated it with gasket paste. And it's still fogging up. So the fogging up of the headlight has a different cause than the leak. In the immediate vicinity of the headlight is the radiator expansion tank. The expansion tank cap is fitted with 2 valves so it could be faulty but I have one, I'll replace it and if the problem persists it's the radiator or its hose joints. I have a replacement radiator but I don't know if it's suitable: it's 000 3428 V006 and the engine is 0.8CDI. I searched the internet and it gives two codes for the same engine - 000 3428 V006 and 000 3428 V007. I wonder which code is the right one? on a Smart 450 CDI 2000 I replaced the electric block of the engine 000 2351 V006 with a 000 2351 V007 taken from a 450 CDI 2000 and everything worked well until I noticed that the glow plug bulb would not turn off. I asked MB Star and indeed the glow plugs were active as long as the engine was running but without other problems.. Quote
tyc Posted January 12, 2025 Author Posted January 12, 2025 I found the 006 radiator and replaced it, but the headlight is fogging up like before. Now I'm going to cover the headlight with aerosol spray the next time I remove it. Quote
