Hello dear friends of the new Smartie’s (453), I advise you all from my own experience to extend the warranty after expiry of the factory warranty for 339,- (further 2 years). Well, why? I was with my Smart at MB and had the second inspection done and then had massive oil loss – the oil came from the crankshaft ventilation hole in not insignificant quantity, i.e. 35 km driven and about 1 liter of oil away. Therefore the engine looked really creepy… After the mechanics on site s o how the engineers in Stuttgart had thought for a long time how that could be, Stuttgart came with the advice around the corner that Argregat (engine) would have a capital damage and this would have to be exchanged – Mmmmh, with a mileage of original 32,500 km (!!!) a motor damage is also not bad, right? In short because I had bought the warranty extension for 339,- short run of the factory warranty, there was not only for the time of the failure a free car rental but also ch a completely NEW engine including the installation and installation… In other words, the smartie runs again and automatically is of course 2 years new warranty on the new engine. According to the advertising slogan: “My dad paid nothing for it…” Now everyone here is clear why I guess about the warranty package, right??? Does not save at the wrong end – otherwise this could be quite real TEUER !
