The problem with 3 lines is the worst defect in the Smart Fortwo. There can be a multitude of defects that give 3 lines. I will list them without pretending that they are all in the list: -perforation of the clutch fork - improbable at 85k - replacement or repair by a passionate specialist - faulty clutch actuator/high wear - replacement / maintenance if it allows correct operation - sensor B43 - replacement or repair by a passionate specialist -MEG/EDG - replacement + adaptation or repair by a specialist - defective wiring - repair by a passionate specialist - water, water, water! to the sensors - water, pins pushed back, moisture in the sockets. One step would be to disconnect the battery from the accumulators for 10 minutes and reconnect it. You must write down the code from the radio/stereo before disconnecting. MB Star is a powerful tool, but it also requires an operator who knows how to interpret the displayed results. Without an interpreter, money is wasted... Without a present defect, only preventive maintenance can be done. The computer system of the Fortwo is set for reactions of the actuators in a certain time interval. If that time interval is exceeded, the system gives an error. It also waits for certain data and if they do not fit into the tables written in the computer's memory, it gives an error. You have to keep in mind that 18 years have passed since 2005... in 2002, when this model was designed, the time of good operation was 5 years. Now, please describe exactly the symptoms immediately following the turn (too fast).

Of course, it was lost in translation...the 'translated' picture is one with poor lighting and an unfavorable angle. We can move on, it seems that the problem is solved one way or another.

The antifreeze emulsifies the oil thanks to the water pump. The original Smart 450 antifreeze is dark blue, with protection for animals (very bitter). In low light it looks like burnt oil... That's where the antifreeze from the engine block drains... 1.5 l flows. The oil is 3 l, it can be drained into a 5 l can, but it spills if the can doesn't have a cap. The role of antifreeze is to transport heat ... water has the highest capacity, but unfortunately it freezes at 0 degrees Celsius; antifreeze is a compromise formula, it resists frost but has a lower capacity. Oil is a rather expensive coolant, it does not freeze but has a lower capacity than antifreeze; instead, lubricate the pump well!

When the engine is off, the oil drains into the oil sump. From such a height, only the antifreeze in the engine flows with such a rate. There is a little oil in the turbo, and when it runs out, another one must be pumped in with the help of the engine. The previous adjustment was for the original turbocharger and not for the current turbocharger. The adjustment can be restored with the help of MB Star and a hobbyist. If there is the possibility of a test with a Smart 450 CDI from 2000...2002 that runs well and the real-time reading of the turbo pressure at the speed of ... and the slope of the ramp of ... is perfect. Noting the pressure and after adjusting the wastgate until similar results are obtained.

Turbochargers have a wastegate adjustment. Is that setting correct? The intercooler can also be broken. The oil bleed plug on Smart 450 thermal engines is always at the lowest point of the oil pan - when it exists... The OE oil sumps for the Smart 450 are without a drain plug, the oil is extracted by absorption. By opening only the oil filter ~0.5l leaked. How much oil did you fill up? (rhetorical) Please, in the future, contact a skilled mechanic, because from what I can see, this time you committed it seriously. I would be happy if the engine survived. OIL vapors come out of the blowby pipe when the engine is running, this is the basic training of any mechanic. The picture shows the change of antifreeze! That's where the engine antifreeze bleeds!

It is not healthy to go on the reserve... for years, all kinds of impurities accumulate on the bottom of the tank, which are mostly retained by the fuel filter. In a smart 450 that I owned when it was on reserve (palpaia) it became 'lazy' but did not show the remaining liters. At another 450, 22l entered and the last 5l displayed from 0.5l to 0.5l without any change in behavior. In a 450, only 15l to 1l enter on board. MB Star doesn't say anything, so the defect is from the litrometric probe. In the summer, maybe I'll take off the tank...

Also unfortunately, the complete front deck that I own has been in the rain for some time. In conclusion, all the screws seem welded and the brake discs are compromised. I bought new brake discs.

Tolsen , unfortunately it's illegal here. As well as the transport of out-of-gauge materials. For this reason, the registration plates are also retained, further movement being possible only with the platform. It is probably legal and possible in the UK ... after Brexshit I am no longer interested in what is in the UK. They with theirs, we with ours.

Light bulbs have a much higher energy consumption than LEDs. That's why it's hyperflash. The solutions are multiple.

With the Smart Fortwo, towing is prohibited by law. Practically, if you want a defective engine/clutch/gearbox, then you can tow it. But you have to keep in mind that you will have the maximum 'quickness' and not the maximum speed. Morale is not ok either because you are aware that this way you will confuse the traffic. In other words, it must be taken into account that the trailer can be longer and approximately as heavy as the tug. Then what can happen when you brake downhill/curve/slippery road? Does the trailer reach in front of the car or only to its right?

Since it is mentioned that you are allowed to pull 0kg, what is to be understood? This in RO - Romania in car terms. Of course, bicycle racks are also illegal in our country because they exceed the dimensions, and this applies to all vehicles traveling on public roads. In DE- Deutschland/Germany in English - you are not allowed to have a hitch without a trailer. I don't speak English but in Romanian what I said sounds clear. So much so that in Romanian the grammar is different from that of the English language - the construction of the sentences is different. Google Translate doesn't help me sometimes so I end up translating automatically from English to Romanian and manually from Romanian to Romanian.

In RO it is also illegal to mount the hook because the car is homologated with a certain length. Of course, in the car documents it is mentioned that you can tow 0kg. In DE it is illegal to drive with a hitch without towing a trailer. It seems that in Sweden the Smart hook is ignored. Be that as it may, the insurance company takes overall photos and in the case of an insured event, refuses payment for this reason. In RO, if you are stopped by the RAR (Romanian Auto Registry)/ARR (Romanian Road Authority) in traffic, the car's documents are retained and a hefty fine is paid. Now I have to change the front suspension too... In the event of an event involving hitting a front wheel. the suspension fork deforms and the pivots and bushings will work forcibly.

In the EU, the towing hook for the Smart is illegal... the police will hunt you down, the insurance companies will NOT compensate you, and if there are victims, the tow hook turns into a jailbreak key.

I didn't understand exactly what the problem was. I understood it like this: 1) the fan does not work 2) the fan works but not the PTC heating resistors. Pt 1) the general causes are: - imperfect contacts - the speed limiter (those small resistors) which may look good, with a multimeter it should be ok but with a high current it may not work - mechanical defects - now eliminated by proper checking. Pt 2) the general causes are: - jacket of the activation cable for heating, displaced - PTC defective -part Q 000 3113 V005 000000 - imperfect contacts - glow plug relay defective - part 000 4491 V004 (above the right rear wheel) - SAM defective * ... * about SAM only if it is not resolved. In fact, each case must be debated separately.
