Add Blue. Porsche D Engines

Clive said:
we have been using it in commercial's for years now

its fine really and especially if you can do 5k miles between fills, we are doing it daily then it can be a PITA !

fact of life for emisions - you will be able to get it removed by a remap if you really don't like it, many truck and tractor operators do, its cheap stuff though so not sure its worth bothering

The mechanics just pee into it ..
They need to find a technician tall enough to reach,but "thin" enough to be able to pop it I to the blue hole
 
Surely you just get the version of the VW software which stops the Add Blue?
 
It's fucking awful - had them on half my fleet and am never buying again if the car has it. Caused major aggro - the cars will NOT turn on if they run out of the crap and it's fucking messy to put in VW Sharan's as it's in the side of the boot and the shit goes everywhere.

All 2016-on diesel Land Rovers have SCR.

Edit - Defender excepted, 'cos they're all classed as commercials.

this what I hear its a lot of Agg...and on the 4.2D, the fill times are not to far between. Can just see this, stuck in middle of nowhere in winter,....
 
i don't think filling it up is the issue. It's being caught out when it runs out and the engine stops that's the issue. I think on the BMW you get a warning when there's 400 miles left and then again at 200 miles. If you do long journeys it's something you need to watch out for. With that said, i understand adblue is now sold at most petrol stations. I just wouldn't want my wife having to do it (its fecking horrible corrosive stuff and i know if she did it it would be a mess) if the warning came up on one of her many tips up north which are over 400 miles.
