  1. That's what I experienced when the coolant level was low, or when air got in the system.
  2. After 25 years, the Smart ForTwo will no longer be produced - Telegrafi - Telegrafi
  3. I had an interesting Saturday. I was the support person for''Wild''who wanted to replace the clutch on his 451 that has clocked 380,000kms. I provided the heated shop, the hoist, and a second set of hands when needed. It was not necessary to drop the engine. The oem guidelines were followed and the entire job took 7 hours. Not a job for the faint of heart but it is doable. Most of my day was working on a 2001 gas powered 450 with only 45,000kms. It's a pure so I added a clock/ tach and got the radio working. It was in storage for 20 years so is in very good condition.
  4. Try PMC tire......... https://pmctire.com/tires?fmk=165098&meta.pmc_tire.size=165%2F65R15&modelVariants.size=185%2F60R15
  5. Check those reluctor rings real close, even a small crack will cause those lights to come on.
  6. I believe that high intake temperatures caused am engine failure in one of the smart cars I owned at 190,000 kms. My intercooler scoop was gone and the i/c fan didn't work - I chose to ignore that. Turned out the valve lifters had failed causing a loss of compression. An expensive lesson.
  7. I would try that myself, but keep the trips short.
  8. Is your intercooler fan working? Do you have an intercooler scoop?
  9. Ya, bleeding an old Mercedes or Toyota diesel was tricky too!
