What is AdBlue?
AdBlue is a urea solution injected into the exhaust as part of an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. It helps convert harmful nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water. Most post-2015 Euro 6 diesels — cars and vans — use it.
Common AdBlue issues
- Low fluid warnings and range countdowns
- Crystallisation in injectors or lines
- Failed NOx sensors or tank heaters
- Limp mode or no-start after ignored warnings
- Expensive dealer repairs on pumps and tanks
Legal fixes
Top up with quality AdBlue, diagnose sensor/pump faults, and repair or replace failed components. Shortcuts that delete the system for road use risk MOT failure, insurance issues and enforcement action.
Remapping and AdBlue
A proper Stage 1 or economy remap on a healthy Euro 6 diesel keeps AdBlue functioning. We calibrate for performance or economy without removing SCR. See also EGR systems and DPF UK law.
