What's your username?

i need help with an ECU of smart for four. The car is not in Malaysia and I am looking to buy the ECU separately. Plz help me out find a place where they sell it separately.

im oso wondering about the disc brake...got what model can suite this smart for 4??

how much the original disc brake pad?

I was thinking getting a used 2006 smart forfour,~~ thinking to trade in with my Savvy AMT 2007, due to smart forfour safety features.

If this is the prob, basically I will face the same prob with savvy lor....
I even change the robotic for the gear after it reach 45km.

So,.......should I consider this as a good buy or forgo coz I've got a good deal (their selling below rm50k)?

I'm an owner of the 2006 model.

Only 2 problems so far... clogged throttle body (easily solved, remove and clean with carburettor cleaner). 2nd is the steering rack failure (no choice, bought used from chop shop and replace).

Car is now problem-free.

The 4/4 has many advantages... one of it is cheap parts since it shared 60% with Mitsubishi Colt. And many parts are available from Proton itself.

Just use pads for Waja or Volvo S40... cheap, less than RM 400 all around.

Added on March 10, 2011, 8:15 amBefore buying a cheap 4/4, do test around. Or better yet, PM me the car plate number and will run against SCM database to see if the car has accidents or not.

Agreed. Gearbox itself is ok but the motors... one for controlling the clutch and one for shifting gears are sensitive. Fortunately, a local mechanic here has done a motor replacement for less than RM 3k.

Never ever send a smart to normal workshop. U need a Merc specialist. I sent mine to Keng Chuan for routine service and software updates every few months. Recently had the power steering replaced for RM 3k (official from Merc is RM 10k).

Problem-free car with superior FC. Love the paddle-shifters too.

Hi everyone, I'm a smart forfour owner since 2007 and recently just encounter the problem where I need to change the clutch operation & clutch pressure costing about almost RM8k..Can anyone recommend me where can I get better alternative? The quote I get above is from Hap Seng Star..Too expensive for me..Really appreciate if u can assist me on this..Better i blanja u guys makanwith that amount of RM ...:-)

If you buy a car like SMARTFF...be prepared for high maintenance lor.

Depends. If u know where to shop, parts can be cheaper and easier to obtain. My smart is already 3 years old and everything is perfect.

Added on May 25, 2011, 11:03 amWhat high maintenance? It shared 60% of parts with 2004 Mitsubishi Colt la!

Brakes 100% compatible with Proton Waja or older Volvo S40
Oil filter is 100% compatible with Proton Gen2
Oil sump nut is 100% compatible with Proton Wira 1.6 (4G92)
Wipers available from Tesco and Carrefour from RM 20 onwards
Clutch plate available from spare parts shop in Segambut for mere RM 1.3k and another RM 300 for installation

Only electronics is from Daimler-Mercedes which can be expensive if it breaks down.

Some u can service DIY such as electronic throttle body. Simply remove the throttle body, spray some carb cleaner and put it back. Will save RM 200 in service fee.

I did all the minor mods and servicing myself. If u love the car, u will find ways to minimize cost.

Great post describing same parts . I'm wondering if the following parts are shared with other models:
1- V-Belt
2- wheel bearing.
3- Suspension.

I recently have the "Service brake" failure on my HUD and am thinking of flushing the brake fluid and replacing the pads. I was quoted 1.04k for the original pads - now I'm going to get it replaced with Waja parts .

My steering rack failed 3 years ago - luckily I had C&C plead my case to MB and got it replaced for free.
