One of the things I find I am looking for quite often is a good source for Euro version cars. More often than not my searches come up void. I will find this or that tidbit about an Euro car.
I use the EPC and my disc which only covers USA, J and AUS. I'm suggesting in both the 126 and 107 forums that, since there is such a variation on the cars themselves, a thread or forum for "Euro only" be established. Or am I missing something? Probably.
With the exception of climate control (and some non-NA market cars were also fitted with the automatic system), intake differences depending on environmental regulations, and perhaps the ability to pick and choose your options around the globe versus the subsidized market, there are very few differences.
I do agree that the organization of the information pertaining to European spec vehicles is often hard to find as it often gets lumped into larger threads related to NA cars. A stand-alone forum would certainly assist in organizing the information, but again, lot of that information can also pertain to North American models, and visa versa.
What I've begun doing in other sections is creating an encyclopedia of DIY threads related to certain categories, and then adding suitable DIYs to each post as they come up. This would allow perhaps a "Euro Only" post for repairs, specs, etc., pertaining to just European cars, while still keeping the information archived with that of the rest of the models.
That's something a section mod could do if they feel it would be beneficial, as well as soliciting the thoughts of some of our contributing members here in this section.
From a contributing member standpoint, I'm for it!
My EPC (temporarily expired) brought up Euro parts for the 84 SEC by punching in the VIN, that's how I knew what to order for the front bumper
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
