I got a letter in the mail today from MB (have no idea how they got my name and address!), stating that my vehicle has not had the trap oxidizer removed and can have it replaced with an "oxidation catalyst" under the recall. The wierd thing is, that I thought the trap was removed on my car. What I have, is a pipe that is about 4 inches in diameter that is wrapped in some kind of webbed foil. Isn't this the replacement for the trap? I thought the trap was the size of a football? Anybody know anything about what a trap looks like on a 6 cyl? If it hasn't been replaced, would that explain why I've never had low rpm power with this car? Also, will they put in a new turbo at the same time? Any info would be appreciated!
