Congratulations Mr, iam My Smart same problem, but not find store alternator in usa, You need link in the web for new alternator? Amazon, Ebay, etc Thanks You..
Holly shit mines a black pure and I would love to take mine to a track someday. Only watching this to see how bad replacing an alternator might be after I might blow one up with all of the audio shit I want upgrade in mine. I’ve already replaced all 3 motor mounts on mine because they were completely torn and to get to the driver’s mount I cut the plastic air intake box thing and replaced it with a silicone eBay one that seems good quality
One of the many nightmares of a mechanic's life
That engine compartment is tight. Glad it wasn't too terrible of a job.
I just had to replace my smart alternator on my Chevy SS or known as a Commodore SS in Australia. Same problem TJ. 🇦🇺🤟💯😎😂
I would have thought that either the squirrel or the chipmunk died.... Ain't that what runs a Smart car? LOL! Nice job!

Good info John !
They shouldve made it to where that sheet metal on top of the alternator was removable by some bolts.
Thinking that way should my alternator give up
Wont fit on through on mine. European mondel may have a double tank pipe seems to be in the way
Thank's for the heads up with your smart car when are you going to mod it
Thx John! I’m currently looking for a smart car.Due to my wife not liking the sidecar on the Grom,in the rain.Gas is killing us;)
I love this thing!

Just for future reference, what manual do you use on your smart? I have a 2011 ....
How much a job like that will cost
Engineers are not mechanics! ✌😁
How is labour time average for that service?
only took us a couple hours to do.
Good at the races.
Now time to go drag test it lol 😆 🙃 😅
👍👍👍👍👍
Need little baby hands, to get that alt. On, lol
What's up your videos are getting shorter
This was a quick and easy tech on the smart car. I always try for 10-15min normal vids, 20-30min when at the track
