I have a favor to ask the group. I am attaching pictures of the engine compartment of my '83 300td and was wondering if anybody could tell me if it has been hacked. A friend of mine told me it's missing the black box that sits on top of the transmission which leads him to think that someone could have made questionable modifications to my car. He also pointed out that there appeared to be missing hoses but wasn't able to tell me what they were for. The car seems to run fine without these things but it makes me nervous to know that someone might have been tampering under the hood.

If you would like high res pictures please email me at histevekim@gmail.com and I would be more than happy to send you some. Thank you in advance. I would really appreciate some advice.

Thank You,
