This might be a stupid question but how do you know if your car needs an adblue top up? I presume when it gets critically low you get a warning light but iv no idea if my own car needs a top up or not. Its been almost 12 months since my last service.

EDIT: Actually ill just go read the manual of the car

I get a warning - something like Adblue needed within the next 2400km and the warning distances decreases as you drive.

Curiously, my Peugeot just highlighted a Urea warning light, something about emissions - would this do?

Cheers, thanks for that. Perhaps this AdBlue from Aldi will do!

I've also Peugeot Expert, I've found from experience (and then subsequently talking to my mechanic and dealership) that there's a minimum top up in one go to turn off the warning. It's not the same as oil, for example.

Note that not all diesel engines need this.

The latest Euro VI emissions regulations from the European Commission has really driven an explosion in SCR technology from the passenger car perspective in Europe. The Euro VI regs introduced in 2014/15 demanded nitrogen oxides emissions should be reduced by a whopping 56% compared to Euro V levels. For most diesel engines over 1.6L in capacity, AdBlue® and SCR technology has been the only means to achieve this. So most new diesel engines over that size will feature an AdBlue® tank from now on.

60c a litre from the pump here locally, so much handier than using containers with cheapo plastic lids that inevitably drip the stuff on to your shoes.

In older cars with adblue, the filler cap is in awkward places such as inside the boot so check where it is before you try filling it up yourself as it may be awkward and hence easier to get the garage to do it. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't you be careful with adblue on paintwork as it can damage it easily?

In Enniscorthy, there are two sellers selling from the pump.

Wow. It was 89 cent only a few weeks ago. Why do I feel like it’s price gouging rather than genuine increase in production costs?

is it any better than dipetane?

filled from the boot?? what car is it ?

so where do you put it? forgive my ignorance but is this for certain cars?

No - either your car requires AdBlue and has a tank, or it doesn't.

if you get your car serviced every year, and you're not doing high mileage, you probably never need to top it up yourself. But the car will warn you if you do need a topup.
