60079.11 section 8.5 is quite clear on the use and type of blocking capacitors.
For the purposes of blocking DC you cannot make the electrolytic capacitor safe by using zeners or any other combination of parts. In fact using zeners negates the purpose of blocking capacitors. i.e. you are...

In closed loop if you change a sensor calibration such as the tube size of your MAF you will need to be able to adjust the ECU for this.
ditto for the open loop comments
Here is something from Audi;
