I have a 2015 Smart Electric Drive that suffered a minor hit to the front and I've had a hard time identifying two parts that were damaged in the collision.
The parts attach to the underside of the car and connect to two rubber hoses that come from the back of the vehicle and also connect to the A/C pressure lines. I'm not sure what the purpose of these two parts are - it's almost like they're using the vehicle's cooling system to help extract heat from the A/C system?
I've searched the Internet and various Smart parts websites and figured I'd find the parts in either the Cooling or HVAC section but I still haven't been able to find a description or part number for the two parts.
So my questions are, do you know the name/part number for the parts, do you know what their purpose is and are they unique to the Electric Drive or are they common to all Smart Cars?
The two parts were originally coupled together but the aluminum tube that connected them was severed. I reinstalled the aluminum part with the cooling fins to the two rubber hoses so I could fill the cooling system and charge the HV battery.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that is provided.
