why would you give them a VIN that's different than the one they can see
on the chassis? that would seem to invite questions... i'd have them
check the one on the car, not the motor, especially if you don't know if
either was ever part of the Campaign.
cheers!

Yeah, I agree. I may just play dumb and give them the donor car's VIN...

is that what the dealer told you when asked? interesting; but we're
not talking about a warranty, we're talking about a "Campaign" (which is
what MBZ did instead of letting it get to a formal "Recall").

The warranty only applies if the engine matches the VIN. Mine doesn't.

i would certainly ask, before guessing what they might do; if "my

them
for, they would not be my dealer for long.

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?
