Peachparts forums typically have a lot of meat, with very little fluff. Yes, there's a sense of camaraderie and some light (usually entertaining) banter, but the primary subject matter always remains in the forefront.
Conversely, whatever (mis)information that does exist in blabberworld forums is buried in a mind-numbing sea of rambling non-sequitur stories, personal opinions, and childish pissing matches. It's the 'Jerry Springer' of Mercedes forums!

Quite unfortunately. I have to say, I see the PP diesel forum as the holy grail of diesel Mercedes DIYers. I read it at night before going to bed, and I read it with greasy fingers and a sweaty brow when I'm stuck in the driveway with something completely taken apart with no clue what I did wrong. I try to contribute at both places, but the people here seem to respond so quickly and with such good info, there's nothing more to add. Over on BW, I try to help the poor few W201 diesel folks that post questions. There are maybe 3 guys over there that are versed in the 190D, including myself, compared to practically everyone else who only know about the gasoline KE-Jet. I do what I can, and I try my hardest to give correct info only. That's all I can offer, and I just hope I help at least one person in exchange for ALL the help I've gotten over the years from both forums.
