Loss of power (smart roadster)

Re: Loss of power (smart roadster)

Well First I have to say, removing the rear panels is not that big a job.
Changing the cycle valve will probably take longer that it would take to remove and refit the panels.
That said, changing the cycle valve I guess would be a 1 to 3 hour job. (I am not very fast)

PS
We are having a traditional midsummer weather here, it just started raining.

The back panels are a bit of a pain if you have side skirts - also having a coupe slightly complicates things.

Re: Loss of power (smart roadster)

The hardest part was getting the pipes of the valve and those metal
clips holding them on :/

[krassegrand]

Re: Loss of power (smart roadster)

I thought the hardest was to get the pipes back on!
