I don't know the year (sorry), but I can tell you it came from an S Class.

I would like to suggest posting this question in the Diesel forum also; as well as taking a few pics and posting them there. I bet more than just one or two would like to see how a 220D was transformed into a 300D. The pic would also help narrow down the year, in case no one can figure it out by your engine number that you provided.
