Lessons learned

The conclusion is simple. Will your car break down with the Adblue system in Turkey? Annoying! But you can save yourself a lot of frustration by initiating repatriation right away. Due to ridiculous rules and procedures in turkey, this is also a complicated road (turkeyisnotreadyforeurope) but it saves you time on solutions that, in retrospect, are not possible at all in Turkey.

We have been behind the phone and laptop for days, but Customs in Turkey is unrelenting. They don't care what misery they cause and they don't care that YOUR car part is installed and then you leave the country. They just want to see money, a lot of money and they take their time for that. And watch out for Fedex. They most likely misinform customs so that you have no chance of getting your spare part released.

I will never ever again enter Turkey with a low emission (Euro-6) car that makes use of Adblue. The risk is too big!
