Also the rear muffler broke off, it had heavily rusted at the seam, so it was basically just hanging in the rubber bushings, when i drove in a pothole i need to get a new muffler soon, now it sounds like a military truck and reduced consumption almost with half a litre , and the muffler had it's insides loose when i examined it

I looked it up, the engine's Multi-Point-Injectef, with all the components made by BOSCH

and because it's a export model, it has a immobilizer with a separate "dongle"
that you wave at the antenna in order to start it

if some petty criminal threatens me to hand over the keys, he sure as hell won't not start the car without it unless he knows how to bypass the gas pump relay
