AdBlue Discussion and Issues

[Chrisfraser05]

38 miles for me!!!

Think I'll be buying containers lol

Im thinking wait until 500 miles left and whack 5 litres in and repeat.

Mine has nearly 2000 miles on her now but the adblue is still saying 4500 miles to go. At one point it went up to 5000 miles to go but then came back down and hasn't shifted for 500 miles or so ...... is that normal ?

My LWB 2o6 DSG T6 Kombi from new had 5k of Ad Blue, I've now driven nearly 4k and it's still showing 5k of Ad Blue.
Maybe I'm missing something?

Apols but a newbie numpy Q.

What happens if you dont refill the adblue?

Not had to use additives since the 70's and using 2-stroke in me motorcicles.

Aparently it wont start if you run it out, not sure if it can cause damage if in middle of journey it runs out.

Thats the type of info I need, but is that definitive??
Adblue = voodoo to me

 

[PukkaT6]

[Pauly]

It's definitive, if you run out of adblue the engine won't start

Guys,

I have had this light for the adblue come on today. With the minimum and maximum being shown as 1 Gallon, do I simply add the 4.5 Litres and that's it? Is there a possibility of over filling it, or any other things I need to know before I potentially mess this up?

Thanks in advance.

I get mine from Vw 10 litre containers. I use the vw filler tube it connects to the filler and the container it stops filling when tank is full. Takes about two mins to sort out. I thought that if I use their adblue they can't say I did the wrong thing. £13 for 10 litres.

Where ? From the parts or assessories in the dealership

@Oldrat as far as I'm aware you'll screw up the emissions control systems, end up with multiple engine faults recorded and probably void the warranty on the engine and emissions system because it will be tracked that you failed to refill the Ad blue. Not a happy prospect.
EDITED: Apologies, wasn't aware of the intervening replies.

Hi All
I filled in twice £13.99 per 10l from amazon. always filling 10l when T6 dispalys message, never overfilled.

 

[Oldrat]

Oh bu66er then
Looks like I'm about to become an adblue slave

It's a pisser @Oldrat (pun intended - if you don't get it, research constituents of Ad blue!)

Did it say 10L on the MFD or did you just put the whole lot in for good measure? or does it not let you put anymore in when it's full?
