So I'm wondering, at this kind of temperature... after say an hour long drive, does the temp gauge even move? I remember driving at just -2 or so in a gasoline car and for about 20 minutes, the temp gauge wouldn't even move up past the bottom line.
@op3l Smart CDI are equipe with an electric heater core beside the standard heater core under the dash board. It help to keep the cab comfortable and the windows clear of frost but it's a fact... the diesel engine of the smart CDI stay cold in city driving during cold weather. It's a chance for me that I must go on the highway every day to go to work! ;)
@dieselkiki no, but for me it's good enough to know from memory. This happened last year, I don't know how this year will be, cause I didn't change the glow plugs yet, but the other day way -23 and it started. When I wake up in the morning in such cold, I never believe it will start... but it always does. Well, I have to admit, that I cheated a little last year, 'cause I had the battery removed and I placed it in the house, so in the morning the battery wasn't that cold...
@dieselkiki Hey, at that time, I didn't think that it will start, so I had no camera with me. Especially that it was sitting there for almost a week without being started. I cheated a little because I removed the battery and placed it inside the house, cause after a week of -20 and -30 ti was almost completely dead. That little yellow car always amazes me. This was last winter, but I don't know how it will be this year, cause I didn't change the glow plugs yet... :) so, sorry, no proof
@domelaci That's great! My Toyota Yaris 1.4 d-4d -03 also had no starting issues during this winter, coldest start was -32 in January. Not even a close one =)
pas pire il avais lair caprisieux pas mal ;-) vien voir mon vidéo jai une toyota corolla 1987 a carbu je lai partie un matin il fesais - 26 c il étais pas mal caprisieux mais il a tenu le coup et ecq smart cé des bon char pcq je fait de la mécanique et jai jamais travaillé sur ses char la ?
@dieselkiki wow, sounds like my dad's workplace car (2006 Jetta TDI) and it doesn't even have a block heater. Other than the winter time, you must enjoy the car otherwise yes?
I enjoy the car all the time... exept when I must go to these incompetent mercedes-benz dealer. They are better for breaking my car rather than repair.
@dieselkiki my friend owns one. he said he'd never buy an other one. not because of the car, but because he hates having to take it to the mercedes dealer for servicing.
@movitmovit It's a sad and real fact! Mercedes-Benz dealer servicing awful and it is the became the nightmare of a lot of smart owner. They are contemptuous and they have broken my car too often. Since my warranty is over, I service and repair my smart by myself. Better service, less expensive, no more shop comeback and flawless. I love mercedes-benz products but I "HATE" their service... if we can call this "service".
@2URBO2 Euh... my engine still running man! Never have to touch to the engine at this time and the cluster show 91000km. at the moment. It's not a standard diesel, it's a CDI. Dont forget! ;)
@2URBO2 No oil leak, no coolant leak, no fuel leak... the only thing that was leaking was the R-134A at the A/C compressor. No leaking at the engine. I'm very satisfied. The rest of the car are not realy reliable but the engine.... very tought! Maybe beacause it's the only thing on the car who's engineered by Mercedes-Benz!
What kind of car you had with a CDI engine who that was so crappy???
grin!good call there dude diesel are all alike !as a rule of thumb turn key once for each 10 deg bellow .so you did it 2 time 3 would probably have been safer bet!
if a diesel didnt start in winter trucker would be in a big bind with just on time deliverys lol
thats right, but they definitly help in winter to get better grip... and 4wd is not a real must... its enough to have rwd/fwd with esp and winter tires... esp has every new car with a lil bit of much power... and winter tires... they aren't that expensive to say after buyin' em imma gonna be poor... but your 4wd... what does that help without winter tires on ice? there is no real difference btw rwd and fwd without winter tires. all in all, beter get winter tires ;)
Yes! It's the OM660 mercedes-benz turbodiesel engine inside.
Lucky your to can buy a Mercedes-Benz diesel! In north america, it's impossible cause there's no importation. There are only Ml, G, sprinter and R class avaliable in diesel version. The smart CDI was leave in 2008 and the E320 diesel Bluetec are leave this year. :( Lucky you are man! It's hard to introduce diesel car in north america.
It's true!! But for a north american, a diesel engine are make for the trucks only. :( Mercedes-Benz diesel enine last forever if you do a good maintnance. I had a 240D and a 300SD before my smart CDI and I loved it! So...
@Romanno14 Could you explain to me why a city car could not be powered by a diesel engine?? You must know that my smart is my only car and I run it as on city that as on highway. In the province of Québec, the highway speed limit is 100km/h. My smart CDI can speeding up to 138-140km/h. It's completely sufficient!! And with a fuel consumption of +/- 3,8L/100km with my smart CDI, I'll never buy a smart car with a gaz engine who can't do better than 4,8L/100km. That's the reason! ;)
Hehehe, it is a nice car, but that sound is going to haunt me. It sounded like a boat! :( I love Mercedes and Smart, but that was not a good sound. Poor car, and poor engine. Wouldnt you buy a petrol Forttwo instead.....?
Great great car!!! Definitely impressive! As time passes by, I adore smart more and more. Both the fortwo and the roadster are on classes of their own!
Tout à fait! Frotntière montérégie/estrie. J'espère qu'il fera encore plus froid cet hiver. J'veux voire à quelle température qu'elle ne démarre pas. ;)
It's maybe true when we talk about the 0,6l and the 0,7l gazoline engine sold in europe but there are no problems with the 0,8l turbodiesel engine. There are a lot of smart CDI that the clock show more than 200000km without any engine problems.
Le char préférer d'un jeune de 19 ans :). J'ai appris à conduire avec une smart cdi 2006 édition passion et je peux dire que je n'ai pas à me pleindre. Ça fait 3 ans que je l'ai pi je l'adore encore. Watchez-vous a Joliette ou Saint-Felix De Valois, si vous vous faites depassez par une Smart a 140 km c'est moi :D.
unless those additives help to warm the car up before you start it.....yeah right, come on its just freezing cold, theres nothing wrong with this car it was just cold
i work on my own diesel car, it never sees the mechanic unless its over a legal matter (MOT's) i also work on my brothers diesel van, so i have a good knowlege on the older diesel engines, an i can tell you if that if the diesel was gelled inside of this vehicle, there would of been now way in hell you could of got it running, not a least as quick as this, its a common rail diesel and that common rail would of been one block of jelly, and the pump internals would have been too
so your not a mechanic, and you live in a country that doesn't see temperatures as low as Canada does, so i should take your word on what a diesel additive can do for me. thanks.
BTW, what did you think the last 3 letters in my name were reference to?
no i wish i was a mechanic, i could put my skills to use to help others, well i do in a case, my whole neighbour hood calls upon me if theres anything wrong with their cars, no need to rub my face in it just becoz i can go out in our winters in shorts and t-shirts, though just be glad your country doesnt rip you off on everything used to heat your home or food when it gets -40 or summat! i put 4 gallons (imperial) about 18 litres of diesel in my car yesterday....to you that would of cost $36!
anyway that aside i was just trying to imply to someone that the fuel here couldnt be 'gelled' other wise theres no way it would of started, unless he poured warm water over the injector lines or has used an engine block heater. , beleive and do what works for you i always say. I'm not a mechanic im a diesel engine enthusiast, who likes to work on his own vehicle and get to know it better, and have the awarding feeling each time i need to worked on my car and finish the work, and save cash too.
Ca consomme à peine plus (le prix de l'Essence moisn cher compense), ca coute 10 fois moins cher à l'achat, tu as 4 vraies places, et ca démarre à -30, sans parler de l'entretien, mécanique accessible et pieces usagées partout vs entretien mercedes et pieces rares usagées.
C'est pas comme si on avait des problèmes a trouver une palce de parking au Québec...
OUI MAIS: ça rouille, ça pourri aux encrages de tables de suspension, ça consomme près du double de la smart, le 3 cylindres est fragiles du gasket de tête, j'ai pas besoin de 4 places, l'entretien se fait plutôt bien une fois le moteur sortie du trou (40 min.) et j'aurais eu peur de faire 2 tonneaux dans une géo alors que dans la smart, c'était presque comme un tour de manège, en plus confortable, se soldant par: 4 panneaux de plastiques et un pare-brise à remplacer.
On en trouve en bon état, et ma firefly consomme 5.5L/100 avec beaucoup de ville, et pas très bien entretnue (ca peut descendre à pas loin de 5 sinon), et plus puissance, plus performante, pour un essence ca consomme pas tellement plus, sans parler de la xfi qui consomem environ 4.5L/100.. De plus les geo d'après 1994 ont un bon crash test, et ont des sieges confortables meme pour quelqu'un de grand (je fais 6pied 3).
Bah pour la consommation, l'été je ne m'en vante pas mais je roule à l'huile végétale recyclée à 75%. Je fais alors du 1-2 L/100km avec le diesel dans ce temps-là. C'est assez dur à battre. Pis de toute façon il est trop tard pour changer d'idée, ma smart est achetée et je ne suis pas capable de la vendre. (Ça fait peur une smart dont la garantie est sur le bord de finir) C'est un fait! ; ) Merci quand-même l'ami!
I had Jetta 1,6 TD,Passat B3 1,9D,Passat B4 1,9TDI,Audi A6 2,5TDI,now i have E 200 CDI, all of them very strong and elastic,made many kilometers without any problems,like lots of my friends with similar cars.Now you can laugh.
I'm still laughing, because they are still some of the most unreliable cars sold here in North America. Refined? Yes, very much so, I've never driven a car with a more solid, comfortable interior. Are they reliable? Fuck no, they are expensive to maintain, and when something goes wrong (which frequently happens), you won't leave without paying at least $700. I really could care less about what you get in Europe, I'm talking about the mexican made shit that VW and Benz throws at us here.
Oooooooooh! La forfour!!! Au Canada on aura eu droit qu'à la fortwo CDI 2005-2006 et la fortwo (body 451) avec mitsubishi 1L à essence qui consomme un peu trop bien ce combustible!! On aura jamais eu droit à la spider, forfour, crossblade, crosstown ou formore. J'suis vraiment triste que la nouvelle fortwo CDI ne soit pas admise au Canada!!
Bah... c'est moins pire que ce que le gabaril de la voiture pourrait le laisser présager mais... en toute honnêteté, la conduite hivernale est passablement ordinaire. Heureusement cette voiture est équipé du programme de stabilité électronique, de l'antipatinage et de l'ABS. Une chance dailleur!Car sinon ce serait vraiment désagréable et difficile à manipuler sur chaussée glissante.
No! Exhaust smoke is produce by high exhaust gaz temp. This engine is so efficient that the exhaust gaz contained less heat on idle engine speed. The exhaust tubing stay cold and no condensation = no smoke are produce. And... à CDI isn't suposed to smoke! :p
When the Christ have you heard a golf cart that sounds like that?! HA ha! I just purchased mine yesterday, and if it drives like a car, sounds like a truck, and looks like nothing on the market, then it's a Smart! Drive one and get back to me!
I love it sound!! It's the wolrd smalest CDI diesel engine! When the warm up is finish, performance are allowable! The speed limit is electronicaly limited to 135km/h (3000RPM on the 6th speed). It's enought for me and with a diesel fuel consumption of 60 / 80 milles per gallon... I realy dont care about performance. I dont bought this car for race but to reduce my fossil fuel dependency!
I hope too that smart CDI comeback soon! I like the new 451 model (built for U.S. market = gaz engine) but with an engine that can't do better than 6l/100km. With my smart CDI I'm reach 3,5L/100km when handle with care!! I realy love my smart CDI!!

It's maybe true when we talk about the 0,6l and the 0,7l gazoline engine sold in europe but there are no problems with the 0,8l turbodiesel engine. There are a lot of smart CDI that the clock show more than 200000km without any engine problems.

When it's that cold, that's when you need AMSOIL in your car!! Then you can start at -50 or -60 below 0.

Le char préférer d'un jeune de 19 ans :). J'ai appris à conduire avec une smart cdi 2006 édition passion et je peux dire que je n'ai pas à me pleindre. Ça fait 3 ans que je l'ai pi je l'adore encore. Watchez-vous a Joliette ou Saint-Felix De Valois, si vous vous faites depassez par une Smart a 140 km c'est moi :D.

you use any diesel additives? Might help it start a little better. worth a shot.
macthemec 2 years ago
unless those additives help to warm the car up before you start it.....yeah right, come on its just freezing cold, theres nothing wrong with this car it was just cold
1700iDiGuy 2 years ago
yeah, because diesel fuel gelling is unheard of, right?
unlike gasoline that has near constant viscosity despite changing temperatures, diesel does not.
macthemec 2 years ago
i work on my own diesel car, it never sees the mechanic unless its over a legal matter (MOT's) i also work on my brothers diesel van, so i have a good knowlege on the older diesel engines, an i can tell you if that if the diesel was gelled inside of this vehicle, there would of been now way in hell you could of got it running, not a least as quick as this, its a common rail diesel and that common rail would of been one block of jelly, and the pump internals would have been too
1700iDiGuy 2 years ago
so your not a mechanic, and you live in a country that doesn't see temperatures as low as Canada does, so i should take your word on what a diesel additive can do for me. thanks.
BTW, what did you think the last 3 letters in my name were reference to?
macthemec 2 years ago
no i wish i was a mechanic, i could put my skills to use to help others, well i do in a case, my whole neighbour hood calls upon me if theres anything wrong with their cars, no need to rub my face in it just becoz i can go out in our winters in shorts and t-shirts, though just be glad your country doesnt rip you off on everything used to heat your home or food when it gets -40 or summat! i put 4 gallons (imperial) about 18 litres of diesel in my car yesterday....to you that would of cost $36!
1700iDiGuy 2 years ago
anyway that aside i was just trying to imply to someone that the fuel here couldnt be 'gelled' other wise theres no way it would of started, unless he poured warm water over the injector lines or has used an engine block heater. , beleive and do what works for you i always say. I'm not a mechanic im a diesel engine enthusiast, who likes to work on his own vehicle and get to know it better, and have the awarding feeling each time i need to worked on my car and finish the work, and save cash too.

SMART 4 ever...
wiimario 3 years ago
Achète une geo metro XFI.
Ca consomme à peine plus (le prix de l'Essence moisn cher compense), ca coute 10 fois moins cher à l'achat, tu as 4 vraies places, et ca démarre à -30, sans parler de l'entretien, mécanique accessible et pieces usagées partout vs entretien mercedes et pieces rares usagées.
C'est pas comme si on avait des problèmes a trouver une palce de parking au Québec...
broody1 3 years ago
OUI MAIS: ça rouille, ça pourri aux encrages de tables de suspension, ça consomme près du double de la smart, le 3 cylindres est fragiles du gasket de tête, j'ai pas besoin de 4 places, l'entretien se fait plutôt bien une fois le moteur sortie du trou (40 min.) et j'aurais eu peur de faire 2 tonneaux dans une géo alors que dans la smart, c'était presque comme un tour de manège, en plus confortable, se soldant par: 4 panneaux de plastiques et un pare-brise à remplacer.
dieselkiki 3 years ago
On en trouve en bon état, et ma firefly consomme 5.5L/100 avec beaucoup de ville, et pas très bien entretnue (ca peut descendre à pas loin de 5 sinon), et plus puissance, plus performante, pour un essence ca consomme pas tellement plus, sans parler de la xfi qui consomem environ 4.5L/100.. De plus les geo d'après 1994 ont un bon crash test, et ont des sieges confortables meme pour quelqu'un de grand (je fais 6pied 3).
broody1 3 years ago
Bah pour la consommation, l'été je ne m'en vante pas mais je roule à l'huile végétale recyclée à 75%. Je fais alors du 1-2 L/100km avec le diesel dans ce temps-là. C'est assez dur à battre. Pis de toute façon il est trop tard pour changer d'idée, ma smart est achetée et je ne suis pas capable de la vendre. (Ça fait peur une smart dont la garantie est sur le bord de finir) C'est un fait! ; ) Merci quand-même l'ami!

maraz26 3 years ago
I'm still laughing, because they are still some of the most unreliable cars sold here in North America. Refined? Yes, very much so, I've never driven a car with a more solid, comfortable interior. Are they reliable? Fuck no, they are expensive to maintain, and when something goes wrong (which frequently happens), you won't leave without paying at least $700. I really could care less about what you get in Europe, I'm talking about the mexican made shit that VW and Benz throws at us here.

Oooooooooh! La forfour!!! Au Canada on aura eu droit qu'à la fortwo CDI 2005-2006 et la fortwo (body 451) avec mitsubishi 1L à essence qui consomme un peu trop bien ce combustible!! On aura jamais eu droit à la spider, forfour, crossblade, crosstown ou formore. J'suis vraiment triste que la nouvelle fortwo CDI ne soit pas admise au Canada!!

Bah... c'est moins pire que ce que le gabaril de la voiture pourrait le laisser présager mais... en toute honnêteté, la conduite hivernale est passablement ordinaire. Heureusement cette voiture est équipé du programme de stabilité électronique, de l'antipatinage et de l'ABS. Une chance dailleur!Car sinon ce serait vraiment désagréable et difficile à manipuler sur chaussée glissante.

and it doesnt smoke ?!
dzffe 3 years ago
No! Exhaust smoke is produce by high exhaust gaz temp. This engine is so efficient that the exhaust gaz contained less heat on idle engine speed. The exhaust tubing stay cold and no condensation = no smoke are produce. And... à CDI isn't suposed to smoke! :p

xxx2591 3 years ago
I love it sound!! It's the wolrd smalest CDI diesel engine! When the warm up is finish, performance are allowable! The speed limit is electronicaly limited to 135km/h (3000RPM on the 6th speed). It's enought for me and with a diesel fuel consumption of 60 / 80 milles per gallon... I realy dont care about performance. I dont bought this car for race but to reduce my fossil fuel dependency!
