Premium Mod No Throttle Response450 Fortwo452 Roadster

I Have No Throttle Response 99% of the time I hear this, the alternator has just been changed and people are convinced they screwed something up during the fitting. Well, you did, we'll come back around to that in a bit. I Haven't Changed The Alternator Try cleaning...

Premium Mod Noisy Headlight Motors450 Fortwo

It is becoming more and more common now that 450 headlight motors are playing up and making a continuous noise, annoying.

Normal Mod Number Plate Lights 451451 Fortwo

The new smart fortwo has better licence plate bulb holders, these don’t break as soon as you touch them like on the previous model. Here is how to remove them to change the bulb.

Normal Mod OBD Upgrade450 Fortwo452 Roadster

OBDII may be a standard but manufacturers were given a long leash which came to protocols and the manufacturer specific pins. I will tell you more and tell you my idea.

Normal Mod OBDII Error Codes450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

Premium Mod Official Roadster Leak Guide452 Roadster

Smart admit that the leaks occur on the Roadster, they even have an official document for fixing the leaks. I am glad to say that there is no copyright information on these documents so there seems to be nothing to stop me posting it here.

Normal Mod Oil Adapter Fitting450 Fortwo452 Roadster

The standard oil filter doesn't have anti drain back or a bypass valve, adding an adapter like this allows you to use better quality, cheaper and easy to obtain canister filters.

Catches and condenses the burnt oil vapour from the crank case instead of pumping it into the engine.

Premium Mod Oil Coolers450 Fortwo452 Roadster

Oil cooling is standard in the Roadster so it is a good idea if you have a modified fortwo to consider a form of oil cooler.

Normal Mod Oil Filter Magnets450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster453 Fortwo/Forfour454 Forfour

As soon as you mention magnets and cars, people think about fuel magnets and stop listening but this has nothing to do with fuel and is a cheap but valid mod that was missed out during manufacture.

Normal Mod Oil Specifications450 Fortwo451 Fortwo452 Roadster454 Forfour

There seems to be confusion over which oil can be used in the smart, luckily it happens to be very simple and covers all of the smart models.

Normal Mod Oil Sump Pan Testing450 Fortwo452 Roadster

For many years, we (smartmods.co.uk) sold an oil sump with a drain plug for the 450 and Roadster. We bought them from a German manufacturer and they were excellent quality. The drain plug design was unique and allowed all of the oil to be drained from the sump. I'll...
