moinsens, the following problem: after engine change, the gearbox switches only up to 2nd gear, after inserting it into the third knarrt as if the coupling does not separate correctly, in automatic mode come immediately after switching attempt into the third the three bars in the display. restart is immediately possible. it is a cdi, bj. 2003, 450 cabrio, running power 220tsdkm, dispenser motor comes from nem 2000 cdi with 150tsdkm. gear oil has already changed, was black and smells burned. my question, can it lie on the clutch disc? it switches through 2 lanes and backward gear cleanly. must ask tomorrow if the clutch disc has remained on the motor, in addition my question, are the discs identical or has there been a change? thank you for your answer.

Dear Smart Community, I’ve been in love with a smart for a long time. Now it may soon become reality due to diesel driving bans in Stuttgart from 2019? The starting point: I commute 90km daily (back and forth), 90% expressway, limited to 80km/h. Often also traffic jams or stop and go. As a current vehicle I have a Passat Built 2007 TDI with 200,000km. From 2019 I can no longer go to Stuttgart. A large vehicle is mandatory due to family. Since a new EURO 6 diesel is currently simply too expensive for me, I think about keeping my passat and in addition to get a smart petrol truck to the office. (second model series). What do you mean? Does it make sense? What are recommended engine variants? How high is the fuel build? What is the cost of the smart in tax and insurance?

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.
