Wagon Forum?

[Jim B.]

While it's true the wagon owners can get many questions answered in tech. or general discussion forums, I would be inclined to let them have a separate forum too, if they understood it might not be as heavily frequented.

In the poll, though, for vote counting purposes, I think each wagon owner's vote here ought to be worth TWO votes as to non-wagon owners getting one vote.

There ARE differences between wagons and sedans beyond the tailgate and, as an owner of both a w210 and w124 wagon, I can appreciate this more than most. BUT I've been able to find info by searching or get responses to posts I've put up about various problems in the tech section (leaks in the back, accumulators, hydrostrut level system) so I say nice but not a requirement.

i'd also like a w140 forum .barring that could we have a blue car forum?

This is a great idea. Maybe then somebody can tell me how to check the power steering fluid on an '02 wagon.

We own a 380SL, a 240D and a 300TE 4matic. Invariably, when I am searching for something for one of the cars I come across something of interest for one of the others. Traffic on a general forum is important. I recently asked for help on my 300TE 4matic and got no positive replies, there just aren't many of them around, I finally figured out the answer myself.

A wagon forum would be nice to have, to be specific in who answers, etc., but we wagon owners might miss the good general advice that comes from some of the "experts" even though they don't own a wagon.

I would visit and search the wagon sight if we had one but I would also peruse the general Tech Forum.

Thanks for a great service. srharvey.

The Volvo forum I am on for my wagon does not have any different sections for wagons.... The only differences between the wagons and Sedans are issues like rear tailgate, folding cargo seats, folding rear seats and the hydropnumatic suspension Mercedes puts in these things...... While the MB wagon owners of course will argue otherwise....

By having a wagon specific forum you would be splintering the knowledge... Many sedan drivers would not read the Wagon specific forums....

If your going to have a wagon specific forum why not just break the cars up by chassis.... I think things work well here the way they are.... I can look at information about my specific cars and learn about other cars at the same time...... When I was looking for 126 information I happened across 140 information which made the car less scary to me and I bought one.....

Additionally if your going to have specialized categories why not go all the way.... Im sure the Pullman owners would love a place to discuss privately getting all of their hydraulic windows working..... Us 140 owners would love a place to discuss fibre optic loop testing.....

Leave well enough alone

I am all for different series,W123-W124-W107,ETC,

I think series spacific would be to everyones advanage.

Mine sees five crewmembers a couple times a week, I guess I could drive a Torus want-be wagon ,but !!

If I had a wagon I think I would love to go there... but I think I might be lonely when I arrived.

I would like to propose a thread if it should come about: "What to do about rusting fuel tank?" (whats that? )

Might be lonely or it might not be...but think of all that room in the back.

BTW, who is that guy in your avatar?

I'd love to get a wagon but I'd hate to loose my trunk.

You're not losing a trunk...you're gaining a giant storage space.

Plus a "secret" storage compartment.

That would be nice... but I would need to get new stuff... my trunk full of junk would look horrible in a wagon... the one thing the trunk has going for it is 'it's opaque'.
