I just bought a 1985 300 D turbo last Tues. The next day I found one piece of paper in the glove box that reads "Trap oxidizer replacement" will be performed at no cost to the owner. The maintenence records shown that the last replacement was in 1994!
I took the car in today for engine steam clean appt and mentioned the trap oxidizer to my "assigned service rep". He told me I didn't need a new trap, I did not say anything (what do I know?), he left to check my car I guess. He returned 5 min later and told me that I will be getting a new trap AND a new TURBO charger!!!!
I asked if there was a cost and he said no but they need to order the trap and charger etc. so I need to come back.
How much do one of these puppies cost?!!!? I can't believe my luck and blessings! I only took it to the dealer b/c of that little note in the glove box and to get her cleaned up, but Sophia (btw I named her) is getting so much in return! New turbo charger, does it mean that Sophia will be whistling soon?
Happy happy!
