Ad-blue MFD not displaying

[tobyclaydon]

Evening All,

First post, but been actively following this great forum. I've recently picked up my Ex AA 2017 T6

Quick question......

For the life of me I can't find the Ad Blue range on my MFD, I have tried to look through all the menus etc. I have seen posts about vans having this mapped out, I've tried to search the forum for a definitive answer but nothing confirmed, hence this post.

If the Adblue is mapped out, would this disappear from MFD? I'm a total noob with Adblue, as I've never had a vehicle with this fitted.

Appreciate any help

Toby

I’m in the same boat. Definitely got adblue. Had the van over a year done a few thousand miles and for the life of me can’t see anything about the adblue on the mfd or anywhere else.
Forgot to say welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome! Loving my new T6

This adblue thing has got me stumped...

Yes, correct.

Perhaps you should ask the AdBlue system to be restored - to make it roadworthy?

Mines mapped out.
It still shows on the MFD but just a blank on the range.

I thought this is what would occur, hence why I'm so confused!

How long have you had it mapped out? Any adverse effects?

 

[Geedub]

Pretty sure my Adblue shows as - - - (mapped out)

About 6 months and its fine no noticeable difference

So does it come up on the mfd as you scroll through the various things like range, mpg etc. ?

Trying to find this out too, hopefully we get an answer

What does your MFD say? Or does it not show it at all?

You can remove ADBLUE entry from the MFD by adjusting Instrument Cluster EEPROM.

Does this mean than the Adblue system is still in place? Would I get a warning that it needs topping up, or is it likely that it's been disabed/mapped out?

Adblue system is controlled by the ECU so if it isn't mapped out it will work as commanded by the ECU firmware.

Would I get a warning that it needs topping up, or is it likely that it's been disabed/mapped out?

If you edit your Instrument Cluster EEPROM and change Bit 5 from 1 to 0 at address 0x2E7
then the whole Adblue functionality gets disabled, but obviously in the Instrument Cluster only.

Just to complement, in some cases the Adblue menu entry is displayed only when the actual remaining range gets below 3000km.

Thank you for the replies! I guess I'll wait and see if I get a prompt about adding some...

I think what van model (ergo instrument cluster type) you have will affect what you see
Highline vans have the better cluster with full menu options and a MFSW to scroll through it with, startline base vans dont have the full setup and only give limited info on the screen (not sure if that relates to adblu or not ?)

I did wonder my vans a startline.
So will just keep using it and keep an eye out for any reminders to top up.

maybe a silly question, but do you have an ad-blue filler under the diesel filler? Is your van a euro6?
