Hello together! and that’s what I asked you 😉 because leverkusen is in the cup finale*happy* I and my buddy bought tickets for the finale in berlin! now we thought about how best we come to berlin from Friedrichshafen (for all those who don’t know where this is on Lake Constance in the very south). despite the eigtl relatively high costs we have to rent 100 (100 euro rent with insurance protection, + sprit) for it to fire a car at sixt. and there is also the smar t fourtwo. now to my questions: 1. can you drive almost 700 km by car or is there a motor sample or something like that? 2. what is the consumption ? these are eigtl almost continuously by car, from fn only to lindau and from there only by car to berlin 3. does someone already have experiences with long car rides with nem smart? any unusual things sitting problems or something? would be really nice if you can help us!

Hi, I play with the idea to screw new spark plugs into the smart. Lt.Smart are the ones in my Smart 451 only at 90000 km. Has the car run now 39000km Do I have to screw in the expensive Iridium candles? Or do the “normal” spark plugs work too? Up to corresponding FIN were only “normal” spark plugs prescribed…. after/from corresponding fin the interval and the candle type from Normal to Iridium was changed. Greetings

My window no longer twitches, because the rope hoist has jumped off the roll and he did so because the intake of the Bowden train has broken. Since it is quite time-consuming to get to the place and smart can no longer supply spare parts, I had first attached a beer lid, which could actually replace the defective recording for some time (picture 01). Meanwhile I got a printed spare part. But now I fail to replace it. How do you solve the old roll, which is so unfavorably installed behind the welded side impact protection (pictures 02 and 03, from diagonally below)?

As a transitional vehicle or second car I can get a smart from a good friend. It only asks me what you pay for it. The car is from 12/2007 and has run about 65000 km. TÜV has it up to 03/2021, 2nd hand. As far as so good, according to autofocus24 it would be worth about 2900 Euro. But the car has several scratches, the tires have to be changed, oil and brake fluid must, the air filter with sure also and a basic cleaning from the inside would be attached. Winter tyres are not there. I am almost getting in with 1500 Euro.

Hello forengemeinde, my name is Steffen and I’ve been with Motor-Talk for many years. I’ve mainly driven a Mercedes W202 from 1994 as a C280 Elegance. He has provided me with 12 years of loyal services. But now we’ve had rusty reasons. Since I have a daily journey of 2x 20Km alone with the car and wanted something economical, I bought a Smart. It shouldn’t be a Smart 450, which seems to get very big problems with the years. That’s why it would be a Smart 451. The car has EZ 11/2009, 71hp, is white, has 135,000 km on the clock and stands very well there. It has climate and a glass roof. I have tried it and I didn’t notice anything funny about it at first. I will allow it next week and then of course drive it with it. At the end of August I would like to give it to the workshop to check/change all liquids and have the car checked again in order to perform any repairs. What is special about this vehicle, so that I can give the workshop any greetings?

Hi I recently had the cheeks changed in the back. Now I want to change the housing also because it looks rusty. My mechanic wanted 50 euro, I found too much for 2 tyres down and a screw. I don’t know if I should change it myself just for a short time on the lifting platform. The handbrake makes already so 6 clicks that means that they just have to fit like that. Should only walk and handbrake out on the stage then the rear 2 tyres runs the one screw cross or what that is and then the 2 drums change. The screw and the mature on it and tighten with torque or? Do you think that’s so easy. Should I do this myself?

The smarty of the holding woman was allowed here in KR at the local Benz/Smart Association for inspection. What was then on the invoice, reminded me of the recently seen documentation in the TV/Youtube about ripping off of the contract workshops: In short: invoice amount 320 EUR gross for oil service plus AT MITCHETEM ÖL! (for comparison: With Jaguar 4 weeks before for the small with self-made oil with 266 EUR (incl. costs rented!) in the bag. For the “automatic resetting of the parking brake have then also been checked times even 5 AW. Nen 15% discount on wage costs has been calculated brav into the plus, instead in the deduction of the sum. (Good that will be quickly corrected) Is such incompetence or abscicke actually the new stand type with Smart? (or possibly only with some unfit local contractual partners? How are your experiences or how do you see this?

Hello, my 451 from 2008 has been having a problem with an excessive exhaust as well as the almost permanently glowing engine control light (because of the Lamda probe) and a resulting restless running behavior. Since the puff became louder and louder now, I wanted to have a look over my workshop. A clever employee then also found the problem (probably for both problems), and indeed on a “under an additional sheet” on a connection to the exhaust almost all around torn / open connection high to the fixing of the Lamda probe before KAT. To save costs he has welded this place, deleted the error of the MKL … and look, the car accelerates and drives not only quite differently, it drives compared to before almost silently 🙂 and the MKL is also out. So the assumption is obvious, that the crack caused both. Until yesterday, then it went on again. My question to you: Can you get some well-preserved puffs and if yes, what cost these?

Hello, I have two problems with our Smart 451 Bj. 2014 with approx. 56 tkm. First, when pressing the key to open it flashes about 6 times very fast. With the Ersartz key normally 3 times. Second, when the engine starts again after a stop at the traffic light, the radio goes off every time, but also goes on again. These are only small problems, but disturb me nevertheless. Maybe someone knows about it here and can help.

Hello Smartaner , We are looking for a replacement for the old 450. We loved it in his ten years, because the engine has now said goodbye -> he comes away. Driving profile: 12,000 km/year 70% rural road 15% City 15% AB Important for us: Pulse/ Passion equipment, sofa touch, maximum 2nd hand, SH booklet, mileage <80.000 km, BJ >2010, NR convertible, climate, <600€ Following Smart Cabrio PASSION mhd 71PS 53.500 km EZ 3/2011 Softtouch I just ended. What do you think of the car in particular from the price? Seat heating would be a nice gimmick . The budget could be increased to 700€ if there is much more offered for it (larger engine, SH). Freue me over a couple of guard-clockers since I just have the Rosa glasses on. VG Hannes
