Good day everyone!
Sorry in advance for my terrible english, I'm hungarian.
I have a 2001, 0.6 Smart fortwo 450.341 automatic transmission model, and lately I noticed, that when I start driving, the car sort of "jumps" forward, and also does that after every single shift. Not sure how else I could describe it. The car doesn't start going gently, but it does a small jump forward.
The other problem I'm having is, that in the beginning(according to the temperature gauge) only half a minute after I start driving the water temperature goes up to 100C (and even 120C) and after a while it just goes back down to normal 60C.
Now it even does that mid driving, so once I was driving for 20 minutes, the temperature was okay (60C) and the heating in the cabin was working. Then suddenly the temp started going up again and the heater was blowing in cold air, until a few minutes later the water temp went back to normal again and I had heating again. For some reason the water level is dropping, because a few days after filling it up, there was only 1/4 left, however I found no leakage spots on the concrete under the car, so I'm not sure if it's leaking or evaporating, or why the car drinks all the water.
Has anyone had these problems before, and does anyone know a way to fix these?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
