Poll: Seperate Forum for E320 CDI

I believe that while the car is unique in the US, a seperare forum isn't needed

No.

1. The commonalities far outway the difference (engine).
2. We all benefit from the postings.
3. There is less redundancy.

Establish a new Forum for the CDI and inevitably you will have duplicate threads for common (shared between all E's) issues, one in the CDI Forum and another here.
My $.02.

Although I'm a CDI driver, I agree entirely.

I would rather have a separate forum for W210 and W211 E55, and think it is more appropriate. But since a lot of people agreed and it still hasn't happened, it's unlikely that a landslide user vote in favor of an E320CDI forum would help create the forum.

Not to mention what about all the owners of E200CDI, E220CDI, E400CDI, etc.? How about W210 diesel owners? Wouldn't it make sense to include them?

Well, I accepted the 'Yes' option, but not only for those reasons.

Agree with you, scorchie. There are many non-US members here. And the 220CDI is the most popular CDI-version if you look at the production figures from DC. So keep it like it is!

OMG you gotta be kidding. E-class from 2000 with diesel is CDI.

I have to agree with Miguk_Saram. Leave the platform forums the way they are grouped under the AMG, Sedan, Coupe, etc. headings.

It might make sense, however, to set up a Diesels forum in the Technical Forums group. That way, all the diesel owners would have a place to compare notes on their engines no matter the platform.

...just a thought...
