Yes same with my 90 300D 2.5t. Starts in 2nd-can feel kickdown into 1st. My

$1,111 for an '82 300SD, looks fine in the pics, 250K mi. Test

The earlier cars had the air cleaner on top of the turbo (which was not sitting
on top of a trap oxidizer). There was a hard plastic U, sort of like a big sink
trap, that looped from
So should I disregard the allegation that the shop could have damaged the

No, not really. Something got sucked in, period, there is no way around
