  • Steering angle sensor for Smart 451…where to buy…cost?

    Hello together, must renew my steering angle sensor. Can someone help me whom I need for a 451 BJ 2008? Would this fit purely theoretically or does it have to be exactly the sensor from the series?http://www.ebay.de/…/251615522620?fits=Make%3ASmart If yes…does anyone possibly have a link at hand or could tell me what the part officially costs at Smart? Thank you!

  • Which Smart For Two – Inconclusive

    Hello dear forum, after the plans have changed and I get a new business car, I would like to have a new car for my wife, as you really only drive short distances, as well as a lot of city, a smart would be the best solution. Now I have some questions: – What needs to be taken into account separately – Rather a diesel or gasoline engine – It should not be the latest, so the previous version (2008 – 20xx) – Insurance and tax differences – Which engine over a few answers I would be very pleased. Greetings

  • After a car crash, does the engine hurt?

    This question concerns me at the moment, because on my route almost every day there are collisions. Regularly, in the 70 zone, mostly unbraked before the traffic light, crashes into the front man (SR, inaccuracy or why always). I know that the smart has a crash box at the back, but could it absorb so much energy in an emergency (in case of a crash of 50-70km/h) that the engine does not suffer any damage? I would be afraid that the oil/gas pipeline will be damaged and a fire will occur. And what about the driver? Do safety belts and seat belts offer enough protection or do I have to expect injuries at such a speed? Thank you!

  • 451: Realistic Vmax values

    I have once collected information from tuning provider pages and forum entries and think that the following values could be quite realistic (5th driving stage) – also depending on the respective PS difference. The tolerances can be high with the Smart due to wind influences and other tyres, should be clear. 61hp: 145-150 km/h 71hp (+10hp): 150-155 km/h 84hp (+13hp): 160-165 km/h 105hp (+21hp): 175-185 km/h (“small” performance increase) 117hp (+12hp): 185-195 km/h (“big” performance peak) I don’t want to pursue a “tail extension” discussion here (“my is faster”, it should only be about clues on which one can orient oneself so roughly. Nevertheless, other experience values are interesting if measured with GPS and not downhill or with tailwind.

  • Smart MC01 Cabrio Gasoline – 2002 Speed too high?

    Good day dear forum, I bought a used Smart just under 1 1/2 months ago. Since it is my first Smart I have 0 knowledge about the Smart. Yesterday I was with my girlfriend in the Smart. She also has one. She noticed that my Smart switches very late (from gear 1 to gear 2 it switches only at approx. 3000 turns – sometimes it also jumps to 3500 when driving well). In addition, you can feel it extremely when it turns up. It makes a Rucka This morning I drove the Smart into a workshop to have it tested. The Master told me that there was no hose on the engine. Afterwards, the response to the gas improved noticeably. At the speed did not change much, although the Master said all this was dense and nicely greased. On the Internet I also found a guide on how to reset the memory of the gearbox. 1. Key to position 2 (ni 2. print gas pedal to the bottom and hold 5 sec. (Kick down position) 3. Key to 0 “off” position (key does not pull away), release gas pedal. 4. 2 min. wait until the system is reset. Still didn’t help me after several attempts. Does this guide work at all with my model? Or did I do something wrong. I look forward to every helpful answer Thank you in advance! LG

  • Experience values for the audio system navigation/multimedia

    Hello, I’m looking for some experience about the “Audio system navigation/multimedia”. I’m thinking about ordering the audio package (Audio system basic + Soundsystem) or the audio system navigation/multimedia + Soundsystem. The price difference is not so big. What do you have for experience with the device?

  • When did you throw away winter tires?

    Hi guys, have a Smart 451 as a downtown car and winter tyres with DOT 08. The profiles are still available enough but last time I had to drive really slowly otherwise I always had wheelspin and when braking always had to intervene ABS. Did the tires become hard or do I have too much air pressure on them? How can I find out for myself? Do you really have to throw away tyres after 5 years? Greetings Gimix

  • Pin Installation Foreign Radio 451

    Good evening! I hope you can help me. I doubt slowly. For my “smurf” 😉 I have bought the Kenwood KDC-BT43U. In addition, I have ordered an aperture from the bay, which was delivered with an adapter. Now I have only now learned that a “Plug & Play” is unfortunately not possible. I have been looking for more than 1 hour, how to move the pins (and whether this is possible with the 2nd adapters at all or I have to get a new one). Unfortunately I have to the instructions of Möma did not help:-( I probably have two left hands for it. The adapter that came with the radio has only 4 cables on the right. The one from the aperture has 5. I upload some photos, maybe one of you can see something and help me.
