Hello again! As the title already says, my car doesn’t go straight. With straight steering wheel position the car pulls quite clearly to the left. In order to drive a straight track I have to correct the steering wheel position to the right. But also then the car does not drive straight on by itself, instead a constant counter steering is necessary. Also with the corrected steering wheel position to the right the vehicle pulls to the right. I try to correct the handlebar a little bit to the left, there are two results: Either, I correct too strongly to the left, so that the car then drives to the left, or I correct too weakly to the left – then it pulls back the car back to the right. I hope I could express this somewhat intelligibly. My guess were the tyres and/or adjusted track. Since the tires were due anyway, I had to pull new tires on it and let the axle measurement be carried out immediately. According to the mechanic, the car actually pulled something to the right and this should be fixed now. Result: Since the tires are now new and the problem was not completely over with the old tires, I should not be able to stop the wheel source.

Good day…I am new here (since 10.01.2016 Proud owner of the Smart) and have been looking for an answer in the net for a long time. As winter tyres I have the size in front 145/65 R15 72T and in the rear 175/55 R15 77T… As far as so good… are exactly the sizes which are also in the vehicle license, but the summer tyres on Alu of the brand Sportiva have all 4 the size185/55 R15 82V. Can you drive this without hesitation, since it is always advised to choose a little smaller tyres in front? Also in the respect that the Smart unfortunately has no power steering, but with which you can get quite well. The Tüv is also available in June, not that you get problems because of this.

Hello dear community members, one already before away, I am ONLY a hobby screwdriver and do not know me particularly well with cars / Smart out ?? My problem is the following, I drive a Smart 451 Turbo, year 2007 with 84 HP (officially ??) with a end pot with which the cat was still integrated. ….and now my real problem: These end pots are used as good as not to get because this kind of end pot was broken very often, be it by rust, on burst sweat seams or simply by that the inside cat has solved itself ?? And now my question: is it possible to replace this kind of end pot with a pot with external cat ? If yes, the possibly high conversion effort is worthwhile ? It is just so that there are very many, well used end pots with ext. Kat on the net there is however as well as no used pot with integrated Kat there. I would be really grateful for you for usable information . And still what to end, it could be in the past that the topic was already a forum but I did not have a lot to attend here.

Hi, since I start my training from August and therefore drive 60km a day, I thought about how to get to work as cheaply as possible. Since I only have a budget between 1000-1500 euros, the selection is limited. Now the choice between a small car with LPG or just a Smart Diesel remained with me. In the focus is definitely the Smart, because I would rather drive it than e.g. a Corsa. In the net there is already the Smart with 41 hp from 700 euros. Is it recommended to buy a smart with relatively high mileage or. What must one pay attention above all with this model? As I have heard the Diesel engines should be relatively robust. In addition, one saves itself also a lot, if one has an extra fine dust particle filter installed. How much would such a cost, if I get none of the one already installed? with friendly regards, Michi

Have a huge problem with my Smart fortwo Built. 2000 / 110500 km and don’t know any RAT anymore. Top speed 80 km/h and hardly a suit. I changed all 6 spark plugs. Sounds from the engine OK. also runs quiet. ADAC was on site and has read out control unit. No errors. Turbocharger works, various values in the green area. ONLY air/split supply ??? too low if I understood it correctly. He meant it can only be the suction tube pressure sensor, or the air mass meter. Wanted to order the parts at SC, whereby my BENZINER has no air mass meter. EGAL !!!. Can someone help me further, am RATLOS. Which part is now advisable to replace. Mfg SILAM…. PS. Stems from the Westgate is connected and can be moved well. Have suck/blasted at the rear partial load valve, lets me suck and blow through (can also have something to do with it)?

Hello together, I have with my Smart (small engine) the problem that it just does not get warm. Once the indicator for the cooling water temperature goes up after 30 km overland but also only to the second point, and after motorway rides it goes back from the third point to the second point. Not to mention the cold that comes from the ventilation… What can that be? Maybe the thermostat is defective? Has anyone already experienced this problem?

Hello, I have recently called a Smart ForTwo Cabrio my own. It stands on the front: 145/65/R15(Maxxis all-year tire) rear: 175/55/R15(Maxxis all-year tire) and drives cruelly. It pushes like sow over the front wheels and is always slipping when braking. Since I don’t really think of all-year tires, I would like to have very good winter tires including matching rims now. Through the search I have already found some information, which is not sufficient for me as a Smart newcomer, however, because there is always talk of 175 and 195. Sometimes the 195 with 50s height and sometimes not, then one reads something about 195/45/15…. The rims of 451 seem to not to fit because of the ET, but it should also be with track widenings here. :S Can’t even be so nice to one of them and make a complete listing, which wheel/tire combis fit on the 450s. From me also with indication of the corresponding lane widths. I would like to have a ride on the front axle or the best of the front axle. I would like to be happy.

hallihallo smartgemeinde, I already found out for my smart cdi bj 2010 the second time that he suddenly no longer took gas and became slower and slower. the latter time on the autobahn, where I drove full throttle and all of a sudden the power from now on was no longer given. suddenly the tachopin went back from 150 to approx. 90 km/h. if you pick up, restarts, runs again perfectly. can someone dissolve this rattle?? what can that be??

Hello,?I’m not a smart expert of so I hope to meet some of you here. ?I’m looking for a smart after I sold my Ford Focus.
