AdBlue

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid, comprising a mixture of de-ionised water and high-grade urea, automatically sprayed into a diesel vehicle’s exhaust system to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx).

It’s a legal requirement that your vehicle’s NOx emissions stay below the prescribed levels, so it’s sensible to keep an eye on them. The AdBlue fluid in a diesel vehicle is usually checked and topped up if necessary during each service, but it’s also wise to check the level between services yourself, as you would check any of the other fluids in your car or van.

Common AdBlue system issues

There are a few issues which can occur related to AdBlue and the AdBlue system in your vehicle. Some of the more common ones are AdBlue parts and components failures, AdBlue fluid contamination, tank leakage, NOx sensor failure, SCR catalyst issues or electrical problems, and ECU issues.
