Hello Guys.
Have A question for the site, I was cleaning the dust of the engine, for same reason it gets dusty, I suspect it gets a lot of dust from the bottom of the transmission intake and I started the engine and notice that the fan for the tur…
"finally found that pressing and holding the brake pedal down solved the problem. Weird. The problem went away and stayed away."
I've noticed this too but I believe it is a safety interlock in the transmission. I suspect that sometimes when you sto…
Hello Ian
Interesting how the marketing guys play with us, the customers, they know better what we should get, ja ja.
Anyway, my smart has almost all I wished save for one thing, side airbags, it is not even an option, actually our options are cou…
Hi Jose,
Interesting that you obtained a turbo passion in Mexico. I have the turbo pulse, in Australia. Major differences are wider wheels and tyres on the pulse; paddle shifters came standard; I did not opt for the electric steering.
Manual steer…
I really like this site and I think is the best place where I can express my experience with my Smart Fortwo passion 2009 in its first 7 months and 7500 kmts so far.
I am extremely pleased with it, it is what I expect of it and a little more, howeve…
Wellcome to Mexico Veronica, I live in Mexico and have a Smart Fortwo and I have driven long distances and it is not unconfortable, actually it is more unsatisfactory drive it on the city, becuase of the bumps and potholes. When you are traveling in…
Yep... it is simply becasue the car had it's service interval set by the factory on it's build date, November last year, that the service interval has flagged 12 months. Distance travelled is overruled by the 12 months period.
It is debatable wheth…
Hello Ian.
Perhaps the the date is encoded in the door plate, I will take a look a it when I go home tonight, however when I bougth it and as I ordered with a Mercedes dealer friend I did took a look at the date of manufacting being reported on the…
Plenty of folks have chainged their oil the first time way before the scheduled requirements just to get the initial gung out from manufacturing. It realy can't hurt to get it done, But its not going to realy hurt anything to wait either.
The service interval is set to be 15,000km OR 12 months from the date the service guys set the start interval.
In my case, the car took 3 months to be delivered from France to Australia. The service interval was set for the delivery day, so I had a…
Well, at any rate, it's covered by the warranty. And you might want to take it in to make sure the service clock is functioning properly.
Yes Julie, I was suspecting that the clock was set at the factory and it just had its birdthday, being this the reason for the signal, question is should I change it or not. I personally believe it is too soon.
The "clock" that decides when service is due is set at the factory, not when the car is sold. It has nothing to do with when you bought it or how many km's are on it, it's determined by the calendar. If you take it to your dealership they will run t…
in the US, we get service at 10,000 mile intervals, i was doing 5000 mile oil changes, but may switch to 7500 mile intervals.
the service clocks are set at time of manufacture, your car may have sat around a bit somewhere, wait until you hit 10,000…
