The sharing of some vehicle repair and maintenance cases is updated irregularly. Let more people understand some tips in daily car use, maintenance, and testing. Use cars to understand cars better!
Sometimes you will find that there are some small cars you can pass through in narrow and difficult alleys, but your car is simply not capable of such road conditions. At this time, you will envy such small cars. Yes, today is such a Mercedes-Benz smart. The compact one only has the main driver and co-driver and no rear seat. Behind it is the trunk. Do you envy it under certain circumstances?

The belt of my smart generator slipped and made a noise, and the engine fixing screws were loose and replaced with a modified model. Clutch slips and replace three-piece clutch set.

Smart, also known as a toy for local tyrants, sells for as much as a dozen, which really makes people love and hate it!!!

The smart with the rear engine is very easy to drive and very interesting to drive, but its shortcomings are also obvious. The sound insulation effect between the engine and the cab is extremely poor. After the engine is started, it gives people the feeling that it is loud.
It can be seen that there is only one layer of sound insulation + one cover plate inside the engine and cab.

The generator is below, and the screws of the generator are fixed by several sleeves. After long-term use (the belt is pulled and the engine is rotated), the sleeves have generated distortion, which causes the fixing screws to not tighten tightly, causing the generator to shake., the belt slips and cannot generate electricity.

The price of smart’s original generator parts is very high. The phone bill for a separate replacement in a 4S store should be around 1W yuan. There is no way to say that the proportion of the parts is high. The key is that many parts are not produced in China, and can only be imported. Sometimes it will make you wait for a month.

This time, we also spent a long time searching for all this set of small things. Some distributors had one or two missing many small things, so it was not easy to find them all.

Compared with the new bolt parts, the old bolt has been much improved, and the sleeves at key points are specially thickened to prevent the occurrence of excessive bolts.
A complete set of small parts is installed.

The following is the three-piece clutch set. Not to mention the smart clutch motor, there is really no way to solve the common problem of the three-piece set. If you need to replace it, the gearbox will be replaced when it is submerged.

Clutch plates, clutch pressure plates, clutch bearings.

After the replacement and installation, it was already dark. Anyway, my car didn’t undergo a test run. Let’s drive it out and try it out when we have time!
