Hi,

Has anybody details about the Californian Emission Control system in a 82 SD?
Such as: Is there a particle filter or just an oxidizer?
The reason I ask is, we here in Germany are getting trouble with old diesels, related to increased emission regulations and actually diesel particle emissions.
Bringing my SD to Germany with all the Californian emission control equipment it is not accepted as emission reducing system here.
My idea is to compare the Cali requirements with those of Germany (Europe) and to get a kind of confirmation from Mercedes that my car is “cleaner” than it is now in the registration.
What are the specs this car was in in 82? Milligrams NOx, Milligrams particles per Km (mi)? Or something like this.

Thanks

Tom
