Hello. Incredible but true ! In June advertising brochure of the ATU there is this offer -> rear silencer costs one € per PS 🙂 I sent an e-mail to my ATU branch, of course an e-mail has come back that this offer does not apply to the Smart, because with Kat etc…. blablabla I complained at the ATU headquarters in Weiden and see there got the commitment for an exhaust for my Smart. Of course a Eberspächer with KAT and ABE 🙂 I attached my bill to you and a picture of the montage. Perhaps this offer still applies to you good luck with greetings Thomas Edit by Derk: The picture pendants were removed at the request of the author.

Hello, I’ve always had ridicule and ridicule for Smart, until recently a colleague took me with him (for now), since then I’ve gone and think about buying such a vehicle myself. However, I wonder how it is on the highway. Is one taken seriously and enough power to overtake? Or is one forced to drive to the eternal right. And how is it on long distances with the comfort or with strong wind? Questions about question but maybe someone can answer it?!

Hello together… I bought a Smart 451 year 2011. But would like to exchange the radio which is in it, through an original. I read on the net that was installed for this year or model the Basic Radio from the factory. Question: fits the also the Radio 9 in my Smart The Radio 9 (part number: A4518204279) is a double-DIN CD radio. And… Do you need any accessories for the AUX connection? Glove compartment? Many thanks to all already… Greetings

My Smart 451 mhd BJ 2007 doesn’t start anymore. After ignition, all the lights light up and turn off, ECO flashes briefly and then goes off. I try to start then, click it for a short time from the direction of the fuse box, but nothing happens at all. The gears can be switched on without a running motor. Does that sound like a flat battery? This is now 12! years running smoothly? Mhd is switched off every time directly after engine start. Do I have to install an AGM battery now or would a VARTA SILVER C30 12V54Ah 54 Ah for the requirement profile? The car is moving 23 kilometers in the morning and the same distance in the evening. Or is there a better suitable battery now? Many greetings

Hello smart experts, yesterday I was a little proud of a friend, but also a little thoughtful about her new, used smart. It’s a petrol engine (I’m not a smart expert, maybe there are several gasoline engines) and despite its good condition she has some concerns now, because the car has already run over 40 tkm. She has heard – after the purchase – that the life of the engines should not be so high. Since she invested a considerable part of her savings in her car, she naturally wants to drive with it for a long time. What should she do, so that she can enjoy it for a long time? (normal maintenance according to the plan is logical, there are only “special measures” asked. How long do the smart petrolers live according to experience? Of course, the behavior of the drivers depends on the experience, but there should already be experiences. Thanks already for the info re

Hello guys…… the smart of my wife develops a curious life of her own.No matter when and no matter what weather or driving condition….It turns on the ventilation, no matter what stage and the car goes off,Eco lamp flashes,and can’t be started for about 10 minutes.If you try it in between times so after 2-3 minutes it goes sometimes no, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes longer until it goes on.As long as the ventilation stays off he rides completely without any problems.No plan what should be going on, maybe someone has advice where to look for the error????Thank you

Hello Dear Smart Friends, I have bought my girlfriend a retrofit system for parking aid for your Smart. There are 4 parking sensors and a small box incl. speaker for the beep. The instructions say that I should drill 4 holes, but I have now looked at the Smart, and there are already 2 holes there. 1. Question: What are these holes? I removed the protective flap and they lead into the empty, can I use these for the parking sensors? The parking sensors are however slightly smaller than the holes in the rear bumper large (of diameter). 2. Do I need 4 holes for the Smart at all or are 2 enough? Nice greetings and I would be happy about help.

Good day with each other I noticed that my smart has a very high tyre wear on the rear axle. This was already the case with my 450. I get a maximum of 8000 km with a set of tyres at the rear, but the front tyres still have at least 60% profile. With my Volvo with > 200 hp, I do without problems >25,000 km What is special, but the right rear tyre uses itself faster than the one on the driver’s side. (as with the 450er) At the moment the left one has about 2.2 mm of the right one is on the cover, i.e. 1.6 mm. Since I am mostly alone on the way, the left tyre should be faster down from the logic. Could it be that the “lighter” side has more slip and therefore uses itself faster? Has someone else made similar experiences? Driving profile: The work path of 20 km is mostly rural road and through 2 small villages, without Stop & Go. I drive rather relaxed and looking ahead, without big acceleration orgies etc. Grus Flachdachjogger

Hello I have a question here….. I was on Thursday to change oil and today I had to find out that I hardly have any left The lid of the oil filler plug was not screwed properly on it and thus the oil spread nicely in the engine room and on my driveway …..but at the short check, i.e. lid again properly on it, see if there is still something going on somewhere, I had to find out that I apparently have oil in the cooling system and that was not before. I can’t imagine the “suddenly” my cylinder head gasket is giving up the mind, but how can it still get in there? Can something come in somehow through the senseless distribution of the oil, or the crankcase ventilation or about…I don’t know. Would I be happy about a good tip LG Die Potato

Hello people, I would like to know whether the alternator/starter(-generater) is the same for all Smart 451 models. So whether the holes and plugs are in the same place. Whether gasoline or diesel. Background of the question is this: A Smart 451 Bj 2009 ,MHD ,61 Ps probably had problems with the LiMa/starter. Disse was replaced by a normal LiMa (no starter generator). So start/stop is out of function and is not desired. Now the alternator is no longer loading the battery and the car remains lying. The usual cross strokes in the Tacho etc. I found some Lima from 60-70€ new over Ebay. Apart from the voltage / current strength I wonder if all the builders are? Then I would order any, corresponding to the electrical power, order and install it. Wave of the LiMa is not fixed. The car had started to squeat again. On suspicion was replaced by a workshop belt and belt spanner. Quiets still. Workshop should start the light engine but start some more while the LiMa has to start.
