Dear people, in my Smart fortwo cabrio bj. 2009, water has been invading again and again for a long time. Under the flap in the trunk it is always full of water after a rain. Luckily it does not enter the engine compartment (not yet). However, then always fog my windows and it smells already modrig. The floor mat passenger looks not good any more. I looked under it, but it is so far dry. I have read to drill holes somewhere, only exactly where and if this is the solution, I wanted to ask here again. Do you have some helpful ideas.

Moin together, I made my driver’s license the other day and I am now looking for a suitable car. At first I looked for a smart, especially after the 450 model, but they didn’t really agree with me. Then I decided: Smart I’d rather be, was also advised by almost everyone. Now, however, a buddy of nem colleague made me an offer, which makes me think. It’s about a Smart 451, built in 2009 or 2010 (I’m not sure), with 71 HP and mhd. The car is supposed to be really good in shot, was taken over by a real estate company 7 years ago and should also be stocked. Has 150.xxx km down. Actually, he wanted to have 3,000 euros for it, but because my buddy knows him, I would get him for 2,500 euros. Now I ask you: Do you think that’s a good offer? Or should I rather let my fingers off it? I live in Berlin and plan to drive the car so 2-3 years.

Hello guys, I hope one can help and give me tips. Just drove home in the dark and the left headlight lights up in the sky. At home in the garage I had to find out that the engine of the height adjustment is constantly buzzing and trying to adjust the headlight. Is there a trick? Is it hung out? I got on it once – but did not help anything. Light out and the hum is, of course, gone… I think the engine won’t survive for a long time… Does anyone have an idea?

Hello guys, maybe one of you has an explanation… I have in my cigarette lighter a plug that indicates the voltage to me. If the car is running idle I have around 14 volts. As soon as I give gas I have only 12.5 volts. Voltage definitely drops off then my “day driving light module” of MisterDotCom shuts down because the switching limit is 12.7 V. But now comes the clou: Once I turn on my light I have again full 14 volts… Charging control light does not glow. The phenomenon is reproducible at any time. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

I drove backwards out of the driveway, he already called a little bit, as well as then driving on! I came about a kilometer far, he somehow could not switch in the automatic. So I tried to switch normally. He stayed in the second gear and didn’t let himself go, sounded like I was driving in the first gear? So I drove in the middle of the dark Pampa into a driveway. At the stop it was as if I had released the clutch (as with a normal circuit too quickly and strangled off.On neutral and foot on brake I started again…on N position he tried somehow to switch still jerk around and didn’t switch up or down. Does all lights also feel twice eco? Is the gearbox/coupling broken? On N position only with ignition he let himself push on the pkw trailer. Maybe someone knows what my smart car has.

Hello people! I’m pulling it in looking at me in the near future to keep a smart roadster (coupe) stupidly I’m about 2m tall and I wanted to ask if ever of you knows if I fit in there… if my plan is anyway hopeless I can save myself the relatively wide way to pro-possession because dangge schonma… gruß kuch0r

Hi, I have to drive a total of 90 km to and from work every day. Because of the high fuel prices I have thought about buying a smart. Is it recommended or is the smart just a city car? From consumption it is almost unbeatable according to advertising statement. How are your experiences?

Hello professionals, is a wear test (visibility test) of the rear brake pads possible without disassembly? Before I have to mutate again to the toddler and crawl under the smartie … Does anyone know something about this? I forgot to take off the brake drums during the motor conversion in November … I really had the nose full and no buck on further disassembly, since I have completely overhauled my smart back and restored it. So further components disassembly, dryish, sam derusting, painting, etc.

Hello guys, maybe someone here in the forum knows the problem and could offer technical assistance because the smart friend is at the end with his Latin. The Smart 450 (petrol / BJ 2006) of my parents, jumped only sporadically a year ago. In the evening normally off, next morning nothing. Everything looked normal, he just didn’t jump on, Starter says no beep. At noon again tried, zack was there, as if nothing had been before. That he did a few times. Then off to the Fr But it’s only 11 months. Now he’s been pulling around again. Sometimes he starts, sometimes he doesn’t. … and again to the friendly one. Apparently he decorroded some cables and controlled the box under the driver’s seat. That only lasted 14 days, in which he jumped again reliably. Now he starts to start again and sometimes not. The friendly one is at the end with his findings, says only: “That would be de r first smart with such a persistent problem. Could the little one have a CPU problem ? Board break ? Something with the immobiliser possibly ? , ignition lock ? Something with the control of the start ? Could it be the ABS rings ? Here was exchanged for fast , 14 months ago , only ONE . As already mentioned : Smart has allegedly tested a lot , but finds nothing . Some „ random problem but it must be !! Maybe here someone had the same problem , which nn finally could be solved. …. except to buy a new car 😉 Greetings from HH Toddy
