I have 125,000 on my 08 smart. I love this car and want to keep it. Of late she seems to be very tired, has anyone rebuilt their motor? I am looking for any info or advise. I have looked but can only fined replacement engines.
Thanks for this little tidbit: I'll be sure to remember it! 0The lower mount has a rubber bit that is supposed to smooth out the transmission of engine vibrations to the cabin. It also allows the engine some movement as well. As this part wears out, the engine moves a bit more, may transmit more vibrations to the cabin, and may also make the car feel more sluggish. An original motor mount on a 2008 with 125k on the odometer is likely to be very worn.
It's amazing how much better the car feels after swapping out a worn one for a new one.
