actually, what happened with the '85 300Ds was that MBZ did (at least) 2
separate "Campaigns" where they replaced the Trap Oxidizers with
something else; the last one i'm familiar with replaces it with a
W126-numbered part that seems to be nothing other than a Catalytic
Convertor.
the campaigns were at no cost to the owners; it might be worth
checking to see if they're still in effect, as the last one i took
advantage of was already ~10 years ago.
cheers!

Needs a replacement turbocharger.
Because the trap oxidizer cooked it....
Like I said a couple days ago...
And you though we were all full of beans when we (several list members)
said to do away with the T/O. MBUSA did away with them in a recall/TSB.
Why keep it?
