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.
