I've just brimmed mine to see how much it uses, just out of interest, 1.5l per 1000 miles.
I think Audi do something dodgy to extend the range as they claimed it would last between services.Our Tiguan uses a litre about every 400 miles but other Tiguan owners are reporting greater use than that.
In other news. Sky Blue. Sea Wet.
Sky is grey by the way.

My tractor, which I think is Tier 3B uses about 2 percent of it's fuel volume in urea by way of comparison. I think later machines go up to 4% but could be wrong. I don't think it uses any EGR though the later models do.
at least if you have a tractor you probably will have your own adblu manufacturing facility as wellcolin2296fs said:

What happens if you don't fill it up. Why should you? What negative effect would it have?
The car wont start!AdBlue is part of the type conformity. The car has to use it to meet the emissions regulations. As a result the car wont start if it's empty. You could always fill it with water instead. Since the system just squirts it into the DPF.
I suspect in time, this will be like DPFs where unscrupulous types who have a diesel when they have no actual need for such a thing as they do 3K a year. Will be mapping out the adblue somehow. Probably for a cost more than just filling the damn thing with adBlue for 50thousand miles.
Has anyone else had any adblue problems yet?
My mate has a 2016 Skoda Superb (190 dsg 4x4 L&k estate) with 10k miles on and the adblue system has failed, it's been at skoda 5 weeks now and they have replaced the entire adblue system and it's still not fixed. He's been given a 1.6tdi manual passat as a courtesy car and obviously isn't very impressed to be paying ~450 a month for the superb to drive around in the base model passat!

No, but I've seen quite a lot of problems reported in US VW forums where they've had Ad Blue for a few years.The emissions systems on this engine seem ferociously complicated - I thought Ad Blue was supposed to do away with the EGR system, but turns out it has not one, but two!
I really wouldn't like to own one of these out of warranty - and an extended warranty might not cover this sort of thing. Wish I'd leased it (ours is Tiguan).

I wouldn't be very impressed paying ~450 a month to drive around in a 2.0tdi Skoda either, to be fair.My mate has a 2016 Skoda Superb (190 dsg 4x4 L&k estate) with 10k miles on and the adblue system has failed, it's been at skoda 5 weeks now and they have replaced the entire adblue system and it's still not fixed.

This thread shows how much interest I pay when it comes to new cars then, I didn't even know any cars needed adblue! Even our M.A.N's at work don't need it.
My brother is quite unwell and frail. He bought a Tiguan and didn't realise thata) he had to mess around with something called Adblue at all
and
b) that the filler was underneath the spare as mentioned earlier !
He has to get someone to help him with this shambles of a design every time it needs topping up.

VW has mandated that its dealers will do it while-u-wait for £1.50 per litre.veevee said:
