Hello municipality, only a short time ago from a friend got a 450 Bj. 99, 40kW petrol with only 32-kilometres. So I am still absolute beginner. Unfortunately I have repeatedly the problem that is shown in the display a „X. One starts then no more. I checked the backup box under the seat as well as the ZEE under the dashboard, cleaned contacts and fuses checked. All relays from another 450. Unfortunately no reproducible error found. The one day he does not run the next again. I already asked in other forums but unfortunately still did not get the hint. Maybe here someone can give me a hint what I can still do. (The free workshop in front of my front door has already deleted the sails). VG JB

Hello people have the following problem at my Smarty: ( has 168,000km // light oil consumption until now ) he went to his knees during the ride at speed 100 Ursuddenly, i.e. total power drop and he stammered in the stand run only on 2 cylinders, but no fault light burns at home in the stand run on the 3rd cylinder a total failure localizes i.e. at the 3rd coil the control connection is pulled off, no difference, likewise when pulling the 3rd injection valve plug, nix. – no speed drop and no difference. the spark plugs of the 3rd cylinder out, they were totally, but already totally coked. The compression test on this cycl. returned 5 bar, should be uniquely the double, but he ran up until now. Then new candles and a new ignition coil on the 3rd cylinder., zero, he still stutters. My question to you, what could it still lay on ? it is still the injection nozzle of the 3rd cylinder. ? for every answer.

Servus, I have a problem to report, hope for your knowledge and help. And I drove with my smart shopping, when I had done my shopping (knappe 10 min) he suddenly no longer jumps on. So if I plug my key in he shows me everything possible, radio also works. At the battery it can not lie because I have replaced it a month ago. I also can not change gear, shows me constantly N. Changing gear is somehow not in. If I want to start the engine does not do anything at all a noise or anything else, except a short cracking. Can’t be that the car makes palaver after only 10 min standstill. Please for help! Thank you

Hi, I’m going to do my own subject for it, am a bit perplexed if this is the right thing to do with my shaking engine in idle. VIDEO KLICK ME Smart 451 71 PS no MHD Bj 09/2008 48400 KM From the engine run it actually runs very well, runs cleanly, turns freely up and has power. Only in idle it shakes the smartie pretty much as I find it. I’ve already driven a smart with this engine, however I can’t remember it was so extreme. When you stand in front of a traffic light it shakes up into the steering wheel, you give away minimal gas. I have looked at the engine bearings times with the flashlight, it just falls on the engine bearing dock (the first one in the video) pretty much works, but in the rubber I can’t see anything that should be something like that. Maybe someone can also film his running 71 HP engine in idle. Ideas?

Hello to the round. I’m looking for a “passenger car” right now and I hit the Smart Roadster. I already got an offer and wanted to listen to what I have to pay attention to. In the search I have already read that the roadster would like to leak and the maintenance is not completely without. I was offered, already 140,000 Km on the clock but first hand with checkbook, 82 HP, EZ believed was 2005. He should cost VB 3200 Euro from private. Is the price ok? Will the days visit the car times. Hope you can give me some advice. Thank you very much….

Hello. My cube left me standing 2 times rather stupid. The start-stop function turned off the engine at the traffic light, but after that did not work. Also starting with the ignition key did not work. No warning lamp, gearbox can be switched between N, 1 and R. After about 15 minutes he went again – both times. I finished the two rides with the switched off MHD and tested at the finish again the start-stop function: error-free. I read it this morning to the friendly with the order error memory and hold consultation. Information: My clutch is worn out (63000km) and the control unit would then stop the restarting. That is a safety function. Cost estimate: 1200€ plus VAT. Either the 1- is true (that with the non-“safety function”, then I will sell the cube, or -2- the F***reundliche bugs verspielt me. To 1: I do not want to stand in dense professional traffic at impossible place – or even on the highway. To 2: d.h. other error cause, but not the coupling has been broken.

Hello, my work path is about 8 km easy (5 times a week). In addition, once a week about 60 km and at the weekend to the side job again 120 km. Summa summarium would be moved a vehicle about 6000 km a year. For the correct long distance and fun rides keep the current vehicles here. However, I look for a “something smaller” companion, which consumes “not so much” (I’m rather used to 15 l/100 km) and is good for everyday life. Important would be: automatic, armrest, cruiser, (leather) and some space for the driver (I’m 1.95 m tall). I have already used up to 5 years ago a Smart 451 of 07 with the 71 hp petroler over 35,000 km. Also there only as a second car for the city. At that time I told myself however, I don’t want to buy 71 hp petroler anymore, because he consumed with me about 6.5 l/100 km. So if then a Brabus or a diesel (pass vs. really cheap). Now my considerations go back to the direction Smart. And here you are talking about Brabus?

Hello, I have been a satisfied and enthusiastic Smart 451 driver since 2013. The 453 can’t convince me, so I’ve been looking for a nice Smart 451 to replace the current one for a long time. My search criteria: – Seats: no fabric cover – Steering wheel: 3 resp.4 spokes – Tridion safety cell: must be silver colored – the rest of the body should have a different color – the equipment is important to me and can’t be full enough – max. 40000km Unfortunately, I had to find out that there are no offers that meet my expectations. Mostly the equipment offered does not fit or the vehicle is monochrome (does not follow). Does anyone have an idea how and where I can be found? Come from the Märkischer Kreis, but would take a longer drive if the parameters are correct. Thanks for tips and suggestions. Nice Wednesday Roman

Hello, I have a Smart 454 forfour Brabus with 177ps, and make the oil change at the latest every 8,000 kilometers, am now in the 4 months where I have it 15,000 kilometers of danger (long distance ), and yesterday I had the oil changed the 2nd time, since it is in my possession. Financially it is no problem for me, but I wanted to ask if I can lift it to 10,000 kilometers, have only my worries, because it is a highly bred small engine with 177ps. Below you see a picture of my sweetheart With friendly greetings Maxi

At the beginning of Sep this year I went to MB because my right dipped light was broken. They had built in Philips pears and meant that they would be bright and long lasting. The illumination was excellent. Tonight I had to find out that the left side is broken. I drive on average 5h/week with light. It can’t be normal wear, if after about 80 h (and about 3500km) the pears give up the mind Would you say that is normal wear or were the pears perhaps defective?
