Adblue
Can I recommend this adblue saga thread:
Hello all. I can’t believe that I’m asking for more advice, but here I am. I recently bought a 2nd hand car (2019 Peugeot Partner) from a garage - 2/3 weeks ago to be precise. After 600km it has developed an ‘engine emissions fault’, now the screen also says it’s an ADBlue issue (many diesels need the ADBlue system for EU air quality rules etc). I knew something about ADBlue when i was buying the car, and asked the garage if the previous owner had any problems with it. I was told that there was a slight issue and all rectified now. When i went to collect the car they did a full service - fluids filters and i also noticed on the list a new ADBlue reservoir which apparent cost almost €800 plus €150 fitting or something (complementary with the free service). The receipt also noted that the new reservoir was refilled with ADBlue and an extra additive that stops cristalisation (which apparently is an issue with ADBlue systems). When i got the keys I asked them when i’d next need to add some…
I have a Fiat Ducato based camping-car which has an adblue system and works fine.
There are always problems with vehicles be it adblue or not. Personally I think the fear of an adblue system is unnecessary panic, there are millions of vehicles that use it without a problem.
