Moin moin, because my current smartie (42, petrol, BJ 2004) unfortunately unstoppably counters the engine death (has 90tsd KM down), should be a new one no later than next spring. I actually liked the new ForFour with automatic transmission, consumption should be combined according to Smart at 5.0 liters. Sure, in reality it is above, but by how much? In the net I came across test reports, which partly report on a consumption of ELF liters, that would be d I drive 90% of the city and now have a consumption of 6.5 – 7 liters with the old ForTwo Coupe, which I already feel is quite high. Does someone drive the new ForFour and can say what to the consumption? Thank you very much!

What about the car tax when a smart is newly registered from September 2018? Does someone happen to have information about whether it remains unchanged or rises to xx€? Does the smart meet the Euro 6c, Euro 6d-Temp standard according to WLTP?

Hello everyone, I bought on 24.02 a used smart from a dealer who is about 1.5 St from my place of residence. When I signed the contract, I asked if I could go for repairs within the warranty to any branch in my place of residence and he had confirmed that. Now I noticed some lack (the switch for the outer mirror does not work and the switch for the volume when turning up decreases by a few “points” the volume st he said that the guarantee would not cover it and that I should go to it because it could only be made out of culant. Is that right? WTF covers the guarantee? Of course, the link on the official website, if you want to look at the conditions, will take you to a beautiful error 404. Thanks in advance! If you want to get a look at the conditions, you can get a look at them.

Now I have the following problem: I drive a Smart 453 from 2016, which used to be a Canadian Car2Go, i.e. a car rental within the scope of CarSharing. From time to time, especially in the morning, if I want to go to work, the car simply doesn’t start. The ignition goes on, but there are many error messages, such as gearboxes, steering etc. The starter doesn’t turn, and there are also The battery is new (Varta Blue Dynamic N60), and it’s also not due to the immobilizer, since the car with the second key does not start the same when the problem occurs. I have already read out the vehicle with Xentry during this situation. The error memory is in the attachment. After about 20-30 minutes the car will suddenly start again as if by ghost hand. Does any of you have any idea what the car is about? Is it possible?

Moin, since today I have a funny noise from about 30kmh and upwards. The ventilation is not, even when the ventilation is switched off, the noise is to be heard. In the stand it is not to be heard. With a video. Does someone know what to do? Thanks and greetings

My little one (90 hp, DKG) is EZ 3/18. In the instrument cluster the remaining km are displayed up to the service – currently approx. 13000 km. Don’t you have to go to the KD every year? In the completely confounded and confusing operating instructions I found nothing to do with it. I just got a good 7000 km on the clock … [Transferred from motor talk from the topic ‘service intervals’.]

Actually, it’s a grieving game, which Smart makes us feel – Xenon has been around since the beginning of the 90’s, LED for a long time. This H4 glow fruit is just a bad joke! All 451s I had before (3 Fzg) had a better light with H7 than the current 453. Now I have exchanged the murky serial funzels for Osram Nightbreaker and hope to see running cows on the road earlier There are (legal) ways to improve something beyond this Osram?

Hi, I recently bought a Smart 453 Forfour built in 2015 with automatic air conditioning. I tested the air conditioning for cooling before buying it and was of the opinion that it was cool. However, the vehicle was in the underground garage where it is already a bit cooler anyway…. 2-3 days later, when I was on the road (outside temperature about 16-18 degrees) I had the feeling that there was not really cold/cool air coming out of the system. Also not on the coldest level with maximum air output strength. Lieg t it is true that it is not so hot/hot outside in October, that the air conditioner therefore does not bring proper cooling power ? Or do I just have a defect in the system somewhere? Can someone tell me something about it? Even if you had a defective at the system, I was happy to know what the problem was. Vllt has a typical flaw or something. I thank you already

Hi, I’m looking for a Smart ForTwo 453. The car is supposed to be my main car. At the moment I’m still driving Avensis station wagon, but I don’t need it anymore. Drive mostly alone with empty car. Luggage or purchases in the passenger seat. I live in the middle of the big city and just can’t find parking spaces, so I’ve always driven vacuum cleaners from Japan, so the purchase of the Smart is quite a change. m what I have read, it should be a 0.9 turbo with 90hp and automatic, because the 71hp sucker should be very lame. I have a few questions to the connoisseurs: I drive a lot of short distance (e.g. 4km in one direction). In the year until now so 10-12.000km, think that will no longer be, rather less. Are such short distances a turbomotor killer? One often reads that the car is coldly jerking and badly switches, it is perhaps just the wrong car for short distance and I should the 1.0 S I would like to have the Turbo because it is my only car as described above and I also want to do 500km or even 1000km one way with it or on the country road where it goes a bit up and down. Somewhere in the Smart 453 forum I read that until 2017 parts of the Turbo (Wastegate?) were badly chosen by Daimler and therefore the vintages should be avoided. Is that correct? I look for car with checkbook, are there models from 2017 or earlier also tab u? Something like that would have to be noticed and fixed by now? Just like the jerking in cold cars, right? Basically, a car doesn’t scare me off because it has (almost) 10 years on the hump. But don’t know whether smarts (or turbos in general) with good care also hold as e.g. the old Japanese. What equipment do you advise? Currently I have the climate automatic, correct glove compartment and the height adjustable seat, in addition to motor / gearboxes, on the must-have list. I’m still traumatized by the gutter in 451. Are models with a panoramic roof louder on the highway? Thank you very much for the help! I’m not sure if there are any more cars with a large 16 or even 17 or 17 rims and the sports package.

Today I drove with my new 453er convertible about 5 km on rainy road. This short ride led to so much dirt on the rear window that you could not look through. Logically, the cover is similarly dirty. (The predecessor, the 451er convertible, did not have this problem). I don’t want to hang any rubber flaps behind the rear wheels now, that certainly looks sour and I don’t even know how to fix them. Do I have to live with it in the future? Or has ever If yes, please info, how…
