Drive your car to the nearest MB dealership and tell them all the guys at Mercedeshop sent you. Then tell them you want to take advantage of the "Recall Campaign" for the Trap Oxidizer on your 87 300D. They may replace the entire exhaust system from the turbo charger back to the tailpipe, FREE! Lucky You......

RiceCakes619, I am going to go out on a limb here, by chance is your car burgundy with tan interior with ~260K miles on it and you bought it in the SD area? Just curious

I see these occasionally. Even on eBay I've seen diesels now and then listed that still have the nasty trap! I don't think MB sent a recall notice, they may just wait until the car goes into their shop for poor acceleration or something, then they offer to replace it, I might be wrong however, as notices would never make it to the second owners unless they took the car to the dealer and had the ownership records updated. When you call the dealer, ask for the service manager if the person you are speaking with doesn't know what you are talking about Its the Service Campaign they call it. You can find the number if you use the search feaure. Have the VIN number handy as they need that to check the database for recalls. Let us know how it turns out. And if they let you keep the old exhaust pipes yes like sixto said there are several people waiting to buy the front section of the old pipe in case you don't want to reinstall it (and sell the CAT)

what does #14 head mean?! I'm scared now... |

Means the kind of cylinder head that's prone to developing cracks when the engine overheats.
Don't pull that "I didn't see it in the archives" line on us. That's the most common thing said about an 87 300D/TD. Earn some respect for yourself and read the archives Sixto 87 300SDL |

Oh, I figure my engine's just loud cause diesels are like that lol... I finished reading the other thread, what would I do with my bowden cable? |

If the shifting feels okay to you, there's nothing to do with the Bowden cable. The Bowden cable is how the engine communicates load to the transmission. If your foot is deep into the pedal, the Bowden cable 'tells' the transmission to hold the gear longer.
