Hello, I know that there are some topics already. However, in this case it is a different starting point. It is a Smart 451 with the “old” dashboard. see link:http://data.motor-talk.de/…/smart-armaturenbrett.jpg I have an original Smart Radio Highline Navi but this is only REIN the Navi (see picture in the appendix) without the round aperture. Now it would have to be possible to upgrade the Navi? I would then only order the DoubleDIN mounting kit. see link:http://www.ebay.de/…/151306026605?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 The Navi no longer differs from the dimensions to a retrofit DoubleDIN Navi like e.g.Alpine, JVC…. or is this NOT true???

Audi 80 B4 Avant, ABT 2.0 – Request instrument cluster
Greetings in the round of the freshling! Bernd is my name… Have there to the cracks of you a question regarding instrument cluster. Problem: expansion AI. I found and read the basic things about this here. I.e. 4 screws loosen and KI slowly pull out of his cave, turn and solve the three plugs, twice by levering the holding clamp and once pull together the two clamps of the third plug in front of it – so far so well… Now I notice a not described wired fourth part (centered on the back of the AI) – probably a … lamp? To at least two cables go to the plug, are also secured with tape against accidental release (soldered). Now I stand on the tube. Is it a light, whose socket I can possibly turn out – pull out?! The socket can not even be turned. To illustrate a few pictures: Ki from the front.

AUDI 80 B4 Avant, ABT 2.0 – Conversion standard fan to passive double fan
Third and last question for today – promised. As mentioned I build up the Avant after purchase piece by piece again. I want to give the engine from painful traffic jam experiences on the A7 – which will employ me the next 12 years around Hamburg, some remedy. Since the cooler has already blessed the time, a new one comes. Instead of the standard single fan engine would like to convert also to the double fan equipped with belt drive. This also has only one engine and drives the second propeller installed in the fan housing passively with. But now it’s tricky: the currently installed standard fan has a 2-pin plug with omitted middle contact. The engine of the future double fan housing has the same plug with mid-clock (= 3-pin). Who knows what the third (mid-pin pole) is needed for. Evidently for an additional fan level on half power? Can I ignore the one? I only have a two-pole control, but I don’t have to connect to the 3 pole fan engine.

Audi 80 (type 89) Cabrio 2.6 V6 – Oil odour
Hello together, well as already mentioned above, it smells like oil during or after the ride. Basically rather if you have already driven. I was in the factory today, they told me that the “cuff” is called so? on the steering gear is defective, because you can already see the metal. Or the steering gear has to be replaced. This would cost 700-90€ without working time alone?! My question now is whether the smell can really come from the cuff or from the steering gear, which oil is transported to the outside through the defective cuff? Servo oil was about 2-3cm below minimum, that they have naturally refilled. In the area behind the engine below is also oil grease to be seen on the components, but nothing serious. Do you think that it is plausible or you suspect something else? If necessary, I also like to take pictures. Thank you already

Starter jams ?
Hi, I got an Audi 80 with the 2L (133PS machine). Since I don’t know how to do that, I have 2 questions. The first one is: almost every morning, when I turn around the key, he only hums. I assume that the starter is a bit stuck. As soon as the starter spins, it starts immediately. Is there any way to fix the problem without buying and installing a new one? And the second question refers to the radio. In my opinion, it’s already retrofitted (blue point cassette radio). I turn it off. When I turn off the ignition it’s still in operation (clock time is displayed). Then I always take out the removable cover. Is that necessary? Does it make a difference for the battery or similar?

Smart 451 clutch actuator – shaft cut off by electric motor
Moin, on Friday my friend with our Smart 451 (52kW, approx. 130,000 Km, year 07) stayed there. The engine didn’t start anymore. So I towed home and read out errors with Texa. Error codes: ABS/ESP -> C1323 CAN communication with transmission control automatic transmission -> P1800 record transmission control unit Since I had the actuator in my suspicion (some years ago because of switching problems times cleaned and readjusted or caviared), I tried to control it via the software – no reaction. Then I dismantled it once and opened it. Result was – drive shaft (this small screw, which reaches into the plastic gear) is sheared off by the electric motor. No question, the actuator must be new. My question is now, I can check the clutch (possibly blocked, mech. damaged) so that the new actuator is not destroyed directly because of overloading. Have already tried to push a 1/2 inch extension into the pan, where the actuator is not able to separate significantly from the clutch.

Smart 42 petrol or diesel?
Hello, my girlfriend needs a little town flicker. She totally lost herself in the smart, so I’ll inform myself here for her 🙂 My girlfriend is in training and has 2 weeks of work and 2 weeks of school. She drives every 2 weeks 2-4x daily 20km (1 times the distance). At the same time 70-100km/h around 95%. The other 2 weeks 2x daily about 10km at 100% city. Now I wonder to what extent I should grab a diesel here. In the gulf I know it, that a TDI is actually quite little designed for short distance (<20km) (so it will probably be with every diesel). Therefore the question to the speczzies, whether you should pay a diesel or a petroler. Furthermore, I ask you what is to keep up with the offers for the 2,500 EUR - 3,000 EUR. Much more he should not cost. And still the question, what we should pay attention to when buying in general. I thank you for it! Greetings And what for God's sake with the engines? Look at the offers only "motor damage", etc.

Double-din radio with DAB, eventl. Android (smart 451 VFL)
Hello I’m looking for a radio with Bluetooh and DAB+ for my 2007 smart 451 with Android that could run directly Youtube. the most important thing is that it is installed without additional frames in the mounting panel, I don’t want a frame for it. Find the radio mounting panel already ugly enough. and the lighting of the keys USW. should fit the car. would also like to have a rotary button for the loudness. is there no possibility to stream aps wirelessly to the display? is there anything?

Performance dynamometer Part II – Realities ! 😉
So, today it was time for me to do it again. After I was on a performance test stand in March of this year in the series state, I went to the same test bench again today to determine the change Stock CTR vs. tuned CTR. The result was more than surprising … but see for myself … Here dynamometer measurement and dynamometer from March 2004 (outside temperature approx. 2-4 degrees above zero) dynamometer March 2004Dyno March 2004 Here dynamometer measurement and dynamometer from this morning at approx. 09.00 clock (outside temperature estimated 23 degrees) dynamometer July 2004Dyno July 2004 First of all, I didn’t change the curves and data, you all read correctly …. Therefore my measures “-” tuning would have been and I would have achieved a lower performance of -15 hp compared to my standard condition. Luckily, I also had CTR11510 with the performance test stand. He was the first, I was the second. CTR 11510 (series) had even less engine performance than I should have, difference to myself 16. But the same condition was probably.
