Hello, now I have the little one only recently and now directly the first joy damper. I drove a few kilometers today. After approx. 200 km a break made, then again in the car and wanted to continue driving but the little one bucks himself up, wants to, but can not drive. So ADAC, which has listened to the whole short, grabs then aim-safe under the car and shakes a little at the Bowden trains of the parking brake and see there, the brake is off again as if nothing was wes He said it was because of the heat of the engine and he already experienced it a few times at SMART ́s who have stood for longer. …. sometimes quite seriously, I am not an expert on cars, but do such things as brake change etc. himself and can help me quite well in matters of cars, but what can lead to the heat of the engine the brakes go tight? Or differently asked, the car should be driven in the future by my wife and I do not want the it remains because of such a problem “little”. What can I do so that it does not happen again? In addition, the SMART when starting on the mountain almost absolutely needs the handbrake to not roll backwards, so the problems should be solved as soon as possible. I just don’t know where to start. Would be very grateful for advice. Mfg DerOnkel2002

Hello, I’ve only been driving a 451 for three months. So I’m still on my way to the first winter with my little one. In summer I use the standard Passion Alus with 155 front and 175 rear. This morning I went looking for winter tyres on aluminium. I wanted to do this exceptionally in time. I noticed that there is almost no difference between the Kombi 155/175 and the Kombi 175/195. However, I live in an area in which regularly snows it in winter (exceptions confirm the rule). Besides, I can’t use another vehicle in case of snowfall. That’s why I’m interested in whether the wider tyres on snow significantly lose traction. Maybe one of you could already compare both combinations. As a tire I wanted to use the Continental TS800 or the Pirelli Snow Control. The second question relates to the quality of inexpensive aluminium rims. inter unscathed? I was thinking of one of the following models:http://cgi.ebay.de/…7221158QQcmdZViewItemQptZAuto_Complete wheels?…https://www.reifen.com/…/search.do?…

Hello guys.. I’ve been thinking for a few days if I should buy a used Smart CDI ( from mid 07 ) or not. I find the little one pretty chic. Another purchase motive would be the low diesel consumption and the maintenance. Unfortunately I read a lot of bad things about the Smart and therefore I would like to hear your opinion.. I am a student and in any case depend on my car for the next 3-4 years. Therefore I can’t buy a car with which I am looking for a car. Before I change my 2006 Peugeot 207, which is in TOP condition, I need to be sure that I don’t make a mistake. My Peugeot is really running 1A…and he wouldn’t make any noises before 150,000 to 100%… That the smart doesn’t offer as much comfort as my current car is clear to me. I’m primarily concerned with the fact that I’m cheaper than I am. What do you think? What are your experiences with the Smart? Are you satisfied? Do you recommend the change to me? Are there any models that may be more vulnerable than others (from the engine or year of construction), if with which one am I on the right page? Thanks for the answers…

Hello I’ve spent 4h reading the already existing posts and am partly quite disappointed, but also convinced that there will probably not be the perfect car. No matter what you do, something is always. I think about buying a fun car. My choice would fall on the Smart ForFour Brabus. The power weight is simply crazy. Unfortunately I leave that there were often problems with the topic of rust, but mostly only with the fortwo smarts. Is there a fo Rfour driver who had problems with it. How is the consumption with this smart so. Insurance I have already looked. Happens in the frame; are approx. 560€ a year. Tax I believe were (still) 108€ a year. Since soon everyone is taxed after CO2, of course also the CO2 value would interest me. There are different data. One time you leave something of 158g/km the other time of up to 174g/km. What is now in the vehicle license? Since I have never had a used car I’m a little careful about that too. More than looking at it and doing a test drive, you can’t do it as a layman either way. You can notice mistakes only day/weeks or even months later. Is there a possibility/test as I can see if the running performance was turned around? Because it’s already noticeable that when a vehicle is 4 years old, and only 20,000 km on the speedometer, it was either not driven, or just put around it. I would be grateful to you for your tips on buying a fun car. Greetings Steve.wi

Hello, currently drive an A4 petrol station wagon 125hp and need the average 9-12L. I do not need the car professionally but actually only Just4Fun, city trips, gym, short distances. Live together with my girlfriend and she drives a Polo Diesel station wagon, she is dependent on her car drives daily to work. Now spontaneously came to me the thanks why I so much money for fuel,insurance ,tax out even though we actually do not need a second station wagon, actually need I didn’t even drive a second car. But I want to be mobile with my 23years, and I don’t quite like it. I drove a Lupo diesel in front of the A4 and sold it only because it was just a diesel. Unfortunately, it is like that in Germany, you drive a big car you are who, now my old one comes into play.. I don’t know if I feel comfortable in a small smart or get inferiority complex when at the ampel a 23j in the new A3 seat “grübbel” if i ch in the long run so happy? and no too much money I have on no case!

Moin Smart Municipality! I’m looking for a smart for my sister and I’m looking for a good offer.The whole thing is from Private: SMART – pure 4.700 EUR First registration : 1/2006 Kilometer level : 59,900km Power : 45 kW / 61 hp The vehicle was at 10tsd km interval at Smart to service. Letzer Service was just under 10tsd km ago and HU and AU also came in spring without defects. My question would now be what to expect from you about repairs at 60tsd km. The tires are still the first of DOT at the end of 2005 – they would have to be new. The car is otherwise accident-free and free of scratches and bumps and very well maintained. Ne air conditioning has it too. Do you think that would be so ok for say 4400 thalers? The car still comes to the inspection of the Dekra before the purchase. Thanks for advice and greetings from Hamburg.

Hello Smart community. I bought a Smart 452 Roadster coupé from 3 years ago. He had already 260,000 km on the Tacho. Sporadic he has problems starting. If he jumps, also by towing, he works a few weeks without murmuring. Several times I hoped to have found the error finally: – new starter, since the error often occurred with warm engine – the fuse 1 with 25 amps, cleaned and plugged in again – the mass contact at the gearbox cleaned and re-screwed – the mass tape in the engine compartment replaced – a new battery installed. The error occurs less often since the new starter. However, it is not gone. After the starter is started you hear the petrol pump and the magnetic switch in the starter is not controlled for at least 3 minutes. At some point the control unit then gives up. Currently I have lowered the engine and now all possibilities no more ideas.

Moin from Hamburg, I have a Smart fortwo 451 CDI with 45 hp (the car has now 119,000 KM on the hump). Unfortunately I found the following problem last week, the car doesn’t pull properly (going into the emergency run) and then the engine control light already went on, Adac called error read out: P2355 Exhaust gas recirculation systems I had the AGR valve and the corresponding part removed and cleaned, all the faults etc removed looked like new. Motor started and the engine light went off by itself. When the parts opened, I noticed that the corrections were not completely dry but rather a little damp??? Maybe the AGR KÜHLER? The car only drives 100KM/h and has less power. After a few kilometers I noticed that the engine went back into the emergency run, i.e. only until the second gear and then I had to switch up the engine light by itself. After 70 KM the engine lamp already hit again with the same error: exhaust recirculation systems.

Moin Moin, my little ball started listening like an AMG 2 days ago. After a short check I saw that something was wrong with the exhaust. He hung something. According to the workshop (was also shown to me) the flex tube is rusted by and no longer holds. Flex tubes for Smarts 451 are hardly/no longer available. Several workshops (tire helmet, Atu, Mercedes) therefore want to replace the exhaust completely because they can not get to any. Welding is not possible. Cost point for the new exhaust: 580€ NETTO. + Installation we end up there (depending on the workshop) about 900-120€. If the time value of approx. 4.000-5000 € would not be an economic total damage. Corner data: KM Stand 93,000 Year 2011 PS 84 Do you have a cheaper idea or don’t come around to have my whole exhaust replaced? I looked online myself, there is no available flex tube for my Smart 451 84 Ps Coupe. Greetings

Hello, I had exchanged my original radio for an Android radio. Everything is running very well as far as possible. In order to amplify the bass, I bought the original subwoofer for under the driver’s seat. Built-in and connected with the cable installed for it. I wanted to test it with full anticipation and nothing happened. Does there have to be any additional changes on the radio? In most reports it says yes, connect and done! Can someone write something to me!? Thanks in advance. Greeting Steini
