<>Re: [MBZ] Hood Pads IMHO: The heat shield is for the higher mounted turbos, like the '85 300D CA model, as there is nothing between the turbo and the hood. On this model the air cleaner is mounted in the front passenger side corner.
I have this model, and it needs a heat shield, others shouldn't need it.
