1985 300d trap oxidiser
It seems my recently aquired 1985 300d, which is a California model and has the trap oxidiser, is included in a recall campaign by Mercedes Benz.
I contacted the local Mercedes dealer and they told me to bring the car in, and they will replace the exhaust manifold, turbo charger, all exhaust, and install an updated version of the trapoxidiser, or rather a catalytic conver thing. All at no cost to me as this recall campaign covers any and all Mercedes that have the trap oxidiser, which was found to be a bad thing. This is good news as i"m sure performance will be increased after all the power robbing components have been removed. The dealer was kind of amazed at seeing an '85 model still all origional!
Before I take it in, there are some vacuum lines that have been disconnected, relating to the egr and a few other things, I don't want anything to stall the replacement repair they are going to do, so I need a good vacuum diagram for a 1985 300d, california model. One with pictures would be great so I can put it all back to the way it should be.
Thanks,
