I just acquired an 87 300D and have been following this forum for several weeks now in anticipation of the cars arrival. The first thing I wanted to take care of was the trap oxidizer. I called the dealer today and set up an appointment to bring it in for the recall work. I gave them the VIN and they said that the trap oxidizer recall had already been performed at 40,000 miles. Based on pictures I have seen in this forum of cars with and without the trap oxidizer, it appears that my car still has one (pic below). The service manager did mention that there were two other campaigns that hadn't been performed:
1) Throttle bushing
2) catalytic converter
Has anyone heard of either of these issues and can you give me your thoughts on the trap oxidizer issue based on the picture?

(These are the only two pictures I have available at the moment, I will try to post a better one when I have access to my camera.)



The car is scheduled to go in tomorrow morning. Is there anything else I should have them do that will cost me little to nothing?

Thank you,

J
