@hawkeye18: Maybe the urea level sensor could be fooled, but I think the ECU also receives feedback from the closed loop NOx sensors, which are not so easy to bypass.

@Gïmmï Mørgäikköŋëŋ: I guess you're right. It just struck me as peculiar that the door had pretty much remained solid, unlike the rest of the car, which was literally devoured by rust.

A 1,1lt '50s engine, producing 92Ps@7500rpm?? This deserves respect.

The best write-up I have read so far. And even though I hate donks, I cannot disagree with the writer's logic.
