ptooti

this was happening to mine too and my mechanic stickman007 fixed it said it was a cable adjustment

We hired Izzy aka Stickman007 to give our smart 450 thorough going over from tip to tail, Brakes, Clutch fork brass ball mod, intercooler bracket mod, intercooler replaced, replaced 2 engine mounts, changed tranny oil, all fluids, all filters, oil filter adapter, alternator belt, alternator over running pulley upgrade, replaced thermostat, parking brake cables replaced, headlights polished and UV wrapped, leaking windscreen seal replaced, SAM box sealed up, replaced glow plugs, EGR Delete and Remapped, new tires & alignment, completely detailed as shown in the pics and probably alot more I missed! we feel confident the repairs, upgrades and preventative maintenance Izzy has done will take us forward for years to come! it currently has about 100,000 km Thank you Stickman007 for all your hard work!

Enjoy it we are on our way to full blown winter!

Well on Monday Nov 2/2020 we drove 900km to Lloydminister Alberta then Nov 3/2020 we drove 300km more through Edmonton to a rural area with the smart car in tow and dropped it off for a winter holiday at Stickman007’s place to work his magic on it. Unfortunately we only got to visit and meet for about an hour in person with the Covid and all and we did a fast turnaround and travelled back to Lloydminister then rested a day then back to Manitoba We are getting the works done on it by the master mechanic! Looking forward to next spring! Thank you stickman007 for taking this on.

Best day today!! received my EGR Emulator from stickman007 in the post ! . Just wanted to share I just got this car a week ago it was in limpmode took a chance and traded for it ......what a great deal! scouring the net for info I found Stickman007 and got all the information I needed to get the little beastie going at zillablast break neck speed! well ok a little exaggerated but it felt like it. Looking forward to a possible remap! thanks everyone for the help here and thanks Stickman007 for his great magical device!

I have HEARD that using the wrong type can bang the kilometers up on speedo 10,000km each time its plugged in I was wondering about that too.

do you have a Picture of the sponge install please? I need to do this

oh i have not found the vent tube? anyone have a pic?

Nigel thanks! .....ahhh ok eliminate the connector wire it direct!. I saw that connector and my battery was loose in the well sliding forward and I put a chunk of rubber under the battery and tightened it down I was worried about that connector getting damaged I like the bypass option...sorry for the dumb question only had the car 10 days so far I'm learning lots here!

just curious I have a 450 how do you bypass it? just unplug? Thank you

lilturbo, here is a wheelbase cross reference tool there are some out there close you might find something suitable anyway for entertainment purposes here is a link https://www.roadkillcustoms.com/wheelbase-cross-reference/?wb=1810

Welcome ! please post pics when you get it done! maybe think about putting the smart body on a 4x4 chasis from something else? I'm sure it will be cool whatever you do to it smarts are cool!

please put a link to the post i would like to see it so I know Thank you

Thank you Willys I will keep that in mind I just did not want you to go to the trouble to dig them out and then I not decide to take them is all My nephew actually printed some this afternoon so will take that option first but thank you... I will post a pic... he's in BC and will send them in the mail to me.

is there by chance anyone by chance 3D printing these? I really need some and would be happy to buy if I could find them

I will call Winnipeg next week for giggles and see what they say I will post back here when I get the information Thank you

Don't spend time searching I think I have a lead on some thank you

That is good to know Thank you I don't mind shopping around and that is the great thing about capitalism it gives us options and researching them is not always a bad thing

lol that's not happening for $40 but thank you

here is the thingverse pattern for some you would have to check compatibility https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3263116?fbclid=IwAR0Dlv7pvenSvQhw1569sResp1F2jDvb6zPsqZ_RSQYQEA4YM3yYpnzW57M

Yeah maybe but I'm in Buttstick manitoba 250km from the dealer so just thought I'd throw that out there to see if anyone was producing them there is a "Things" pattern available if somone wanted to print their own and I'd rather pay a homegrown business during pandemic than a prosperous corporate entity at this time.

Thankyou Willy's I will heed and add your comment points to my list! the little car I got is in pretty good cond and I want to do my best to keep it that way and to do what preventitive actions are required you have given me great pointers thank you

Hi from Manitoba I'm just new here and new to Smart Cars I got a 2006 fortwo smart car! YaaaaYYYY!! I traded it straight across for my old 1990 Daihatsu Hijet with a bad head gasket (The guy wanted it no matter what) so the good thing is the little smart runs like a sewing machine except the EGR is throwing it into "limp mode" either way I'm willing to learn what it takes to unleash the ponies in this cutie! . Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! My name is Traci btw. and thanks to Stickman007 for the heads up on this great forum! Sorry I've already posted in the wron area!

Thank you ! Wow just down the road I'm in Souris "Canada'a Longest swinging bridge" on the prairies lol

Hello I'm in search of the foam floor panel that covers the battery compartment for my 2006 Fortwo it was not in the car when when I got it and dealer must have lost it anyway if you have one I would be interested Thank you Traci .
