Yes, I read on one of the UK sites about clicking noises when the engine is cold caused by various heaters warming things up... and drawing on the battery.
The rich and smelly exhaust on a cold start always nagged me that something was not quite ...
Yep... I read somewhere that all cars sold in the USA were supposed to be fitted with an OBD port after 1995... but a 2001 smart was never sold in the USA (unless it was special import) ?
The ScanGauge is not fully compatible with some of the ear...
smart 2001.... a 450 with 698cc turbo engine?
Not sure what the ScanGauge may show or even plug into the OBD port of that vintage.

O compre a un lector de código. Son más baratos que a "scan guage". Creo yo vie uno para $89 en Advanced Auto Parts. Y como dijeron, toma su Smart a un mecánico, ellos lo tienen el equipo para leer los códigos.

"Attention: shift into second when the time comes, lift off the throttle and get back on it as if you'd disengaged and engaged a clutch. Repeat for third gear; fourth; and fifth, although you'll be able to do so more quickly at higher speeds. "

i thought your article was well done. A smart is not for all, but it has many great features, its fun to drive, and creates a lot of reaction as you drive it around. People should judge them based on what they expected. I'm happier than I thought.
