Hello together With my wife’s smart, not only the roof antenna rod, but also the base has been damaged some time ago – no spare rod can be screwed in. I covered the hole with adhesive tape (photo). Half a year ago I ordered a replacement in the official Smart workshop, finally arrived – and now the round foot of the new rod does not fit into the rectangular border of the screw mount of the new socket, obviously false base The workshop discusses with the manufacturer. As I fear from experience that further months may pass: Is there perhaps a suitable, compatible solution from the accessory market, *including* socket? Then I could have it installed at a normal car radio store (roof sky removed and so…). Otherwise I call at scrap dealers in the area, maybe they have slaughtered such a part times and in stock. Thank you for your advice Tino

Hello, with my Smart 453 with 70ps. the engine warning light is displayed. I read this out, and then comes the error P2243 (at AutoDoctor) and P2244 at CarScanner. Both should however indicate a fault of the Lambda probe in front of the cat. If I look at the voltages of the two probes: Lambda 1 and Lambda 2 is then, Lambda 1 is constant at 1.28V and Lambda 2 without gas also at 1.28V but I give gas then it goes down and then up again. If I really miss it Then the probe before the cat should control the whole mixture, for that the voltage must then vary. And the probe after the cat should remain constant. If the after the cat fluctuates this should be a sign of a problem with the cat. So now I see the Lambda 2 regulated depending on the gas and Lambda 1 is constant. Is the Lambda 2 the probe before the cat? From the Logic I would have thought that the Lambda 1. Does someone know that? and if Lambda 2 is in front of the cat, and this now regulates, what exactly can the error be? If I delete the error it will come back even after more or less short time. Thanks already

Hello Together, I have a FourFour 0.9 with 90hp with 66000 km. The following problem is current. — first the motor lamp sporadically lit up. Then I switched spark plugs and Lufi. Then a time well 7nd lamp remained out. — now after a full gas acceleration the lamp lights permanently and in the upper area lacks power. I have no smoke back and otherwise the engine runs round. Never changed the fuel filter. Can it be the filter or does the turbo have a way? Cruise control is no longer possible. The driving method is normal, rather retired and mostly 20-40 km. No heating in the upper speed range. For conjectures or aids I would be grateful.

Hello, I have a problem with my wife’s car, and he does the following : when I open the central lock with the key, this problem goes without problem when I get out of the car again and try to close the car Unfortunately, the connection and unlocking does not work anymore or only sporadically. There is always a clapping but no locking. I noticed now that the key also partly reacts very sensitively even if I just stroke over it, he tries to unlock or lock what only succeeds once in a while. Sometimes the key only works when I move it or shake it, start it and drive it easily. Have already checked all doors, switch key battery, disconnected vehicle battery from time to time. Here is a video of the situation.

Hello together, in the forum you can get the impression that the new smart is completely burdened with problems. I don’t want to deny them or talk nicely, but I wonder if some are satisfied? By this I don’t mean whether the car is perfect, but whether it has met the expectations or if you would buy the 453 again. I’m curious who is “outet”. After all, it is always easier (and unfortunately also usual) to practise criticism instead of praise??. Gruss andi2003???

Hello am a Smart Frischling since 02/16. Smart Fortwo 90 ps gear shift Current km Stand 5300 was new registration was satisfied until May and then the problems started with the steering wheel. Would have already been towed and brought to a dealer…. who could or wanted to find nothing (was Friday afternoon) in Niederbayern Bin then back home with “this steering”! Then I am here on site to a dealer…. He built in new crossbars. Did not bring this! the car 1 day. You don’t find anything. It seemed really stupid to me. Car rides today the whole day and the steering is crawling more and more. I talked to the office today and drive tomorrow to Landsberger Str. Bin. Does one of you also have these problems with the steering? Servus Claudia

Hello municipality, I want to make an oil change with my son-in-law his smart. Viscosity 229.5 should only be right with the torque of the oil drain screw I don’t see through. 11313 EGD WME4533411K089450 fortwo coupe 17.02.2016 Great would be if someone could give me the torque of oil filter and oil drain screw. Here in the forum there are various statements. MfG Schaibre1

Hello, We are looking for a successor for the city for our 450 Smart. Ours suffers considerably from oil consumption, which is known in this series. Nevertheless, we would like to stay with Smart and think of a 453. Do the engines of this series have similar problems – susceptibility to engine damage etc.? What do I have to pay attention to?

Hello to the forum, there are also some friends of the statistics here. I looked at the current sales figures in Dtl and am very positive about the good numbers of the ForTwo surprised. Especially compared to the competition the little one, as well as the ForFour are fantastic. Here are the current numbers of October 2016 *Minis* 1. Smart ForTwo -> 3.048 2. VW UP! -> 2.831 3. Fiat 500 -> 2.330 4. Hyndai i10 -> 2.091 5. Opel Adam -> 2.018 . . . Renault Twingo -> 1.820 Source KBA * Small car* 1. VW Polo -> 5.656 2. Ford Fiesta -> 4.690 3. Opel Corsa -> 4.554 4. Skoda Fabia -> 3.770 5. Mini -> 3.211 . . . Smart ForFour -> 896 Source KBA Finding the numbers really top. above all the ForTwo is really awesome. Why the KBA does not list the Twingo and ForFour in a category will probably remain a mystery forever. mfg Wiesel

Is there led number plate lighting for the current smart forfour year 2015? Which light source comes into the number screen lighting?
