    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 :o

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

    In VAG cars if you scroll through the menu using the steering wheel controls it will show you km's remaining and also minimum and maximum amount of litres required in the Adblue tank. Never exceed the maximum required as it can mess up the system.

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

    That is the ad blue warning light. If you do not top it up before 5k passes of the warning light coming on, the engine will not start. I have a Peugeot.

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

    Some filling stations have AdBlue on pump now and it's way cheaper and much more convenient than buying it in a container.
    I got my 15L for less than 10 Euro in the Circle K in Ballymahon, Longford.

    There is a thread here about it, (but it's a bit old): https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?t=2057859184&page=2

    Worth checking you local filling stations for it.

    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.

    Check your manual or with a dealer but IIRC if you are flagging for urea then ad blue isn't going to work.

    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.

    Where is that? I have not seen it available at the pump in any of the dublin petrol stations I go. They all sell the 10lt container

    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?

    49 cent a litre at Certa (Tesco) stations.

    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?

    Ad blue is made from urea which is a fertiliser. Unless you have been living in a cave, it is obvious why prices have rocketed.

    is it any better than dipetane?

    Ya I even mixed it with my petrol for the NTC and it helped with the missons and was easier on it too.


    Great bargain at that price.

    Dipetane is a fuel additive and goes in your fuel tank, if you put adblue in the fuel tank, you will be walking.

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 fryup

    so i take it the adblue tank is an after market tank installed by a mechanic?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,714 loyatemu

    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.

    jaypers! you learn something new everyday as they say, never heard of that before - would this be old or new cars? petrol or diesel?
