Mine was pretty good, but a few months ago it began to read 7/8 after fill-up and track down reasonably from there. I mentioned it at a service appointment, and they "fixed it". Now, after a fill-up it stays pegged on full for about 90…

I am looking for a spare. I am a veteran and on ss, so I have limited funds. Do you have a price in mind?

The wheels will fit a pure, but I only have the front wheels and tires. It will be a mismatch if you want all the rims and tires to match. you need to find rear wheels and tires also.

I have two Passion front wheels with tires for sale if anybody is interested. They have around 5000 miles worth of wear on them, but look pretty much brand new. If anybody is interested, make a reasonable offer. Thanks!

This has been the source of much discussion over at ClubSmartCar.ca -- I can't find the thread right now, but the wizards over there have sourced three-inch wide rims for the old 450 that sit behind even the driver's seat pushed all the…

To summarize the multiple posts on this - it requires, usually, a software patch to correct. It was common in the '08's, but I hadn't heard anything about it in a while. Take it to the dealer and have them check it out (in case it is…

Yes, DOT4 can be purchased anywhere, but it's not what the smart wants. MB specifies Dot4 Plus for the smart, which is harder to find.

DOT4 can be purchased at your local Walmart or automotive parts store. Alot of German cars have been using DOT4 for many years and it can be easily located now.

Yea... mine does it on frequent occasion too. might see if the dealer can try the fix Christine mentioned next time i get around. The fuel gauge is still accurate, though. You'll notice that typically if you had every bar, that first bar…
