Hey guys,

Is there a full service manual available from Smart for the 451? I signed up for the AllDataDIY one, but it's the typical AllData crap - small pictures, horrible navigation, etc. I've got the "Introduction of the smart fortwo Model series 451" in PDF, and although super-high-level, it's well done.

Is there anything like that in a full-on, step-by-step service manual?

Thanks!

No. The ALLDATAdiy info is the factory info minus the diagnostic info and live links. The factory service info is in the diagnostic tool or available on-line with a subscription to www.smarttekinfo.com

i got my workshop manual on ebay for $10. it comes with the software and like 10 dvds that you have to download to your computer. it covers all mercedes vehicles up to 2015. very extensive with all the informtion and no subscription fees. would definitely recommend.

Most of the repair cd's I have seen for the smart are pirated copies of what is on the Evilution website. They are pirated and that is just wrong in my book. Mercedes is very stingy with their repair information and that is why step-by-step repair instructions are hard to find. Even the factory manuals are tough to read (in my opinion) unless you are used to how they word things.

I wasn't aware that evilution had repair manuals on his website besides the mbstar write up. I'll have to take another look. Id have much rather went with his than eBay.

After looking more into it the only thing he mentions is that daimier ag now offers use of the software for a fee but he doesn't offer it himself. I was worried I had ripped off evilution

Kane doesn't have manuals, just his online stuff. Maybe what you have is a downloaded copy of the mb stuff. that had to have been a lot of work!

he could probably write his own manual. his write ups are awesome. i havent seen too many brands of cars that have their own dedicated website like his with all that info in one place. hes an unsung hero

Kane charges an annual subscription fee of around $15 and it is worth so much more . . .

Certainly looks well worth $15/mo. Question though: I see this is a UK site, will this cover listed aspects of LHD Smarts?

Thanks!

NOT $15/mo but rather $15/yr.

Look at the six pictures of various models on the upper left of the page - he pretty much touches on all and L or R hand drive doesn't complicate things as it is still a smart . . .

DOH! My bad...I MEANT $15/yr. :laugh:

With the conversion, it actually came out to $12.99!

why stop there, should charge for access here and every stop online, don't forget the air and breathing tax.. but seriously manual costs were just to cover the printing and binding, nowadays they go to far monetizing eeeverything...
