Hello André,
It'll help if you give us some specifics: 450 or 451, to start with...
Did you contact the Dealer?

Do you service your smart on annual basis or semi annual basis !
Try contacting dealer !

this might be silly but i dont know how to see if its a 450 or 451. it has 60 000 km on it, and all her serviceces has been done

450 has a three sided rear hatch window and a pair of three rear lights. Furthremore, the 450 has vertical door handles... Does it help?

then i have the 450

Then, let me move your thread/question to the appropriate sub-forum... Hope you'll get an answer soon. Be patient, we don't have as many 450's owners than 451...
Thanks.

Is this electrical power or engine power? That should narrow it down a little.
