History
2014 brought the introduction of the Euro 6 emissions
standard and the uptake of AdBlue
technology in the production of diesel passenger cars. However, despite the use
of this technology in domestic vehicles over the past nine years and a total of twenty years in
commercial and heavy goods vehicles, it is evident about the significant lacking
of understanding about how AdBlue should be correctly used and the problems
which occur with the car if the system is not maintained correctly.
Technical part! What is AdBlue?
AdBlue is the name of the chemical name
given liquid which is injected into the diesel engines exhaust system. AdBlue
is made from a chemical called urea, and de-ionised water. When the AdBlue
is heated in the hot exhaust system ammonia is formed; this then reacts
with the nitrogen oxides present, turning them into harmless nitrogen, oxygen
and steam. This is then released into the atmosphere through the exhaust.
Common AdBlue Faults
One of the most common problems experienced by diesel car
owners in County Durham is running out of AdBlue Fluid. The vehicles
computer system is set with an AdBlue systems fault warning light
to inform the driver that it's running low on the fluid which does include a
gauge setting that shows how full the tank is to reduce the risk of vehicle
immobilisation. It is highly unlikely that a driver would be able to miss any AdBlue
system fault warning notifications by the vehicle as the system is
programmed to administer increasingly insistent
warning lights and sounds to alert the importance of AdBlue
maintenance as levels of fluid within the system keep reducing to dangerous
levels for adequate optimum functionality.
Problems if the driver chooses ignore all the warning signs?
So if you live in County Durham and have no
understanding of the AdBlue system in your car and the significance that
the AdBlue function has in the smooth running of the vehicle it is easy
to see how so many diesel drivers come up against AdBlue faults just by
ignoring the warning lights and running out of AdBlue fluid.
Ø This
can result in drivers in County Durham experiencing the vehicle's engine management system defaulting
to reduced performance mode to enable the car’s emissions to stay within legal
levels.
Ø Some
manufactures have additional safety features enabled that will completely
immobilise the engine and will not allow the car to restart if they have
entirely run out of AdBlue. In this situation the car would need specialist
attention to reset the vehicle software. As fully licenced specialists
North East Remaps can provide a mobile service within County Durham to
resolve your AdBlue Fault.
How to avoid AdBlue problems
Ø One of
easiest way to avoid any AdBlue system failures with your car in County
Durham, is to make sure that your AdBlue levels are maintained
regularly. It is important that you have some understanding of the AdBlue
system within your car, its function and its role within the mechanics of
the car to help identify any system faults and indicators that are
provided within the car to warn you about low AdBlue fluid levels.
AdBlue Systems Issues
Albeit that manufactures have been
developing and incorporating them within Diesel cars for nearly a decade they
are still notorious for developing regular spontaneous AdBlue system faults.
This issue is predominantly down to the large number of complex components within
the system. Malfunctions within the system can easily manifest if any of
the AdBlue system components are exposed to adverse weather conditions
such as extreme heat or freezing temperatures leading to NOx sensor failures,
pump faults and failure of the AdBlue system. If one of systems
components fails this will inevitably result in the AdBlue system halting
in function and a warning indicator light
appearing on the dashboard to inform the driver about the limit of times the
engine can be started or mileage left to travel until driving is prohibited
altogether.

solve your AdBlue system Faults in County Durham.
