Starting problem and black smoke in Smart fortwo SMART | Fortwo | 2002 | 360.000km | Diesel Black smoke from the exhaust during acceleration Hello, I have a 2002 Smart fortwo 450 diesel with 360,000km and I am experiencing the following problems: in winter the car does not start, although the starter is hitting normally, and the battery runs out from the many attempts to start. In the summer, the car starts immediately, but it emits a lot of black smoke from the exhaust during acceleration, as if it is clogging up. The garage is trying to locate the problem, but to no avail so far. What could be the problem? Thanks
For the winter starting issue, check the glow plugs and their relay, as they are crucial for starting a diesel engine in cold weather. For the black smoke, inspect the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary, as a clogged air filter can cause excessive smoke. Let me know if these checks help or if you have any further questions.
