Hello I just wanted to share my friends with someone full of pride So I drive a Smart CDi Bj 2002 with 182000 km with a climate total mileage and I decided 2 weeks ago to go to Kosovo on holiday. That’s from Recklinghausen about 2350 km Through Croatia not Serbia with 2 full packed suitcases cooler box and I 92 kg and my wife. I really was afraid and bamme if the little one gets it. When I told my family and my friends about it they laughed at me and have advised to drive away with the car the Smart is not a real car etc. … But I wanted to prove to the people and myself that my Smarti can pack it and have missed an oil change and filter change and drove it. I’m pretty sure that I have overloaded the smarti and am out of danger. When we were behind Frankfurt and the highway became steeper and the small only 90kmh drove now the temperature indicator rose to 100 degrees so 4 eggs full panic thought ok has the 400 km and now is over. But I’m proud of being back with the Kosovo and now in Kosovo with no way back to Kosovo and now in Kosovo and with no way to return to Montenegro with the little time and with me now, I was going back

Hallölle the following problem with our family-smarti (diesel, BJ 2000, 30kw, ~800ccm, cdi): after four days of standing (now in autumn) he did not jump any more and ordered very unevenly. we added a smart-bastler and he said that the light engine was fixed. we had that already about a year ago and it was made accessible again (stock renewed). however, this time he says that the lima has to be replaced. no renewal of the coal, no replacement-lima. and for the renewal of the lima have to be removed motor and gears… what do you think? is it true that you have to expand the engine and gears? and do you have an idea what a lima costs? many thanks already

Hello, I noticed yesterday: During sharp cornering in my 2001 cdi I have power loss. But the yellow lamp from the Trust plus does not glow yet. Can this still be on the Trust plus, or is there any known defect? With right curves the engine feels rougher for me as well. Thanks for any answers and greetings!

Hello, my mother has decided to make a driver’s license, but with an automatic vehicle. We were at the traffic training area and it works pretty well, better than I expected, although she is a little older. Soon she is finished and we want to buy a smart car directly, maybe. I have been busy with various used cars, but there is almost no used car, which is as cheap as a smart and above all maintenance arm! I am interested in both gasoline and diesel models. Most used cars, which I have chosen and which should be cheap, often have higher costs than the smart, speak spare parts, timing belts etc. The smart has simply fewer components and is of course from Mercedes. So I am a test driver and must say that I find the car not so bad at all. The smart from my neighbor has now run 300,000 km and is still relatively good, other cars would fail there long. Question to you, is the smart CDI really robust and then he drives many KM? I am a screwer and would like to buy a cheap ticket himself. What do you pay for a CDI for a lot of fuel?

Hello, when I started my Smart Forfour 1.3 today, the whole car was very busy. The speedometer varied greatly between 400-800 revolutions. The engine wobbled very strongly and had hardly any gas consumption. I then started it again and it ran again as usual. However, the engine control lamp was shining and I drove to the workshop where a fault diagnosis was made. Mistake: engine control unit! The mechanic has made the car several times on and off. Sometimes the engine had this unround run, sometimes it ran normal. So, according to the workshop, the engine control unit CAN be over, which is not exactly cheap What should I do now? Can you buy the part used as well?

Hello dear Smart community, I am looking for a car (2nd car) for my wife. So we visited several car dealerships today to determine which vehicle my wife likes. We were not sure which manufacturer or which model fits my wife. At the end we ended up with a Mercedes dealer who also had some smart cars. Among other things, a ForFour. My wife was not enthusiastic about Smart at first. However, when we looked at the ForFour and sat down for the test (sampling didn’t go, was quite late) she was quite impressed by the car. Now my question(s): What do I have to pay attention to when buying such a car? And what about Alufelgen/winter tires? Is there only special or do I get something like that on the normal “tuning market”? I hope you can help a total smart layman a little bit further. Thank you already in advance!!!

Does anyone know if the smart has other plus/minus connections to bridge the empty battery, e.g. in the front of the hood? It would be very difficult to expand everything on the passenger side to get to the battery. In addition, the powerless car has to be opened manually before. I ask this because I can’t use the car during the summer for 3 months. The battery probably won’t last that long 🙁 Thank you for your helpful answers!

Hello, I bought myself a smart 2 weeks ago, the oil was changed before 2000km was commercial wise very black and was switched to a motorcycle workshop loud because shine, the oil was in the middle I drove with the smart very fast in the city and on the highway I tested 60km long vmax approx. 145 Driven Well yes have Oil account rolled and see that the oil is almost gone, is that normal because fleet speed? or do I have a motor damage? Have now put in new “cheap” Oil W10/40 and once we test it so suppose

Hello together, I want to renew the old oil tank of my smart petrol engine 450 BJ2000 with a new tub with drain screw. Prima, smart on the ramp, hole drilled in, oil drained, Lima spray protection unscrewed and the 14 Torx E8 unscrewed. The tub now remains stick, as I had suspected, but it sticks bomb-proof! I tried with light up to relatively heavy hammer strokes – nothing – ; the contact holes then warmed up with hot air gun and knocked further down – nothing. As ultima ratio I put a car lifter on the front edge (located across the lid edge) and use the weight of smart (+ mine) and unscrew it. No result, the oil tank doesn’t make any murks out of it. I wanted to ask you if you have a tip on how to remove the tub. How did you manage it? I would be very grateful to you, I really don’t want to hear the smart Sc.

Hello together, I bought a used Smart 451 two years ago. A key is now very badly damaged and I decided to have a new one made. When I called the workshop and asked for the costs, I was told that I had to pay about 200 euros for the key and 50 euros for the learning. The day before yesterday I was personally in the workshop to order the key and was quite surprised when I was told that I needed an appointment so that my “car should be read out”. Now I ask myself as an absolute car layman: Is it necessary that a car be read out to order a new key and if so, what does the reading cost? I thank you already in advance Sandra
