@interbear. I don't know anything about the mechanics of cars in general but 15000 miles adblue range just seems a bit too far to me. The most my Audi Q5 or T6 has ever shown on the MFD with a freshly filled adblue tank is 6000.
yes after about 50 miles, can't prove it but I recon it was after a regen which probably lowered the ad-blue level enough for the sensor to read it. I had about 5000 miles of ad-blue in the tank so when I refill it, which will be soon, back to that level it will be interesting to see if it comes...
Engine only had adblue delete at that time ,..
Wanted torque 470 nm could have take it to over 200bhp but didn't
Yeah it's back on dyno Monday, and if it doesn't make power , injectors are coming out !
...driven the T5, T6, and 6.1 on contract lease up till 2022 for12 years for my job averaging 75000 a year only problem I ever had was faulty Adblue sensors on the 6.1. Now i finally bought one for personal use as i like them so much and so versatile, obviously i couldn't mod a lease vehicle so...
My range has just dropped from 1600 - 1400 and when i start the ignition the adblue message automatically shows & stays (till another option is selected ) . It didn’t automatically show when it was reading 1600 . Any reasons why this may be? Cheers
Thanks yes not many vans shifting at the moment I’ve had some right belters wanting it for nothing but ain’t in no hurry as it’s not costing me having it sat there so will wait and see
No, he’s about 45 miles away, but he’s thinking it’s a canbus break or short and as I’d been having errors relating to short to ground with various adblue sensors I’m going to be investigating the wiring from the adblue plug working back up the loom.
I wonder if this kind of response from the DVSA will begin a clamp down around things like ad-blue delete’s: Aftermarket tuner fined for fitting illegal exhaust mods - what this means for your car
Hey @LZM
Sorry to hear about the second adblue cover.
Have taken a photo of the invoice from when I purchased the replacement cover from local vw dealer.
This was for a swb t30 T6.1.
Part numbers are on top left hand side of invoice.
Hope you get it sorted soon.
I‘m closing in on needing to add some Ad-blue - had the van nine months and it’s down to 1600 miles of range.
Didn't need it before as my last van was Euro5 so I’m an ad-blue newbie.
Is there a (perceived) difference in quality buying it from Bum Bargains like there is with buying supermarket...
got a call last month from my AD and after a bit of a wait picked this up it’s the Deepsea Deep blue I love blue and big watches so to me it’s the perfect watch .
Just had new clutch/ flywheel dual-mass before I mapped first time , only adblue delete .
Was running 185bhp /470
Running great, before pump in tank went .
That’s not cheap either, I did ring a few places and it would be cheaper just to get the issue sorted at a main stealer, also an adblue delete is apparently pretty complicated to achieve and has all sorts of negative knock on affects.
Daft question. Do I presume if my 2016 t6 doesn’t have obvious adblue cap near diesel fill point, I don’t need to worry about this?
Vehicle is a highline with ‘blue motion’ technology. But I understand that doesn’t necessarily mean much specifically from googling?!
Don’t know if it’s the same for a t6.1 but my t6 will throw up errors if the adblue is over filled. Adblue is corrosive so the level sensor is located outside the tank and cannot “ see” adblue in the filler neck of the tank. When you drive the system thinks the adblue level is not going down so...
Except removing any/all of those things is illegal.
Egr and adblue are just software solutions.
Dpf involves physical work in altering the dpf internals. If it gets discovered and fails it’s mot you’ll have to shell out a couple of grand for a new one. I’d leave the dpf alone.
My woes continue after a complete flush of the coolant system. The mechanic took it for a long drive and is convinced that adblue is mixing with the coolant and creating a sludge.
My van is a 2018 2.0tdi 102bhp with only 79k on the clock. There is nothing on the forum that suggests this is...
