Battery replacement on a 2016 smart car 453 turbo

[@jefferycross2010]

Thanks for the video sir. I had to do this

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Glad I could help

Bought my 453 3 months ago. Did the 100 point inspection. Yesterday a message popped up service in due in 29 days. Is that just oil needing a change or does it mean something else? Appreciate the advice

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@richcampbell6808 congrats on the smart !!! And that is correct that means you have 29 days till your next oil change.

@richcampbell6808 check out my oil change video at the end my son shows how to reset it too after changing the oil just go to the message menu and press the OK button for around 20sec until stops blinking.

Thank you for the videos, they are very helpful. Especially since you seem to be the only guy working on the 453 model. I was hoping you could post a video about replacing the engine mounts on the 453 model. I have a slight muted thumping sound every time I accelerate or I go over certain bumps. I suspect the engine mounts or the rear control arm. I cant find any info about where the engine mounts are on the 453 only the 451. Thanks in advance.

I can make a video and tell u how to check them if they’re bad .

Hi, I really appreciate the video, well done and very candid. A quick question for you about this. Did you have any trouble with electrical issues after having the battery completely disconnected - even though only 10 minutes?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

No not at all.

@@J.PROJECTZ Hey, this worked out great. Big thanks to you for the guidance. I love the idea of preventive maintenance items we can do ourselves. Have you thought of doing a video about servicing the air conditioning system? 🙂

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@@andymccann8236 honestly the air conditioning doesn’t needs any type of maintenance besides the cabin air filter. Unless it’s not working then I’ll just leave it alone.

I find the video very complicated, I have replaced the battery on 2 occasions, without the need to disassemble anything. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Unless you have a smaller battery but this one is definitely not going to fit through there on mine .

[@richcampbell6808]

​@@J.PROJECTZLove the videos. I have a 2016 smartcar 453 . I need a few things done to my car. Are you a shop that could do that? I'm in Arlington heights illinois. Hard to find a trusted mechanic that works on smart cars .
