AdBlue Solutions – Widnes

AdBlue is a non-toxic fluid which is injected into the exhaust system from a tank under the vehicle and is designed to remove Nitrogen Oxide, or NOx, from the exhaust gases.

The reason for this process is due to emissions regulations which, over the years, have become increasingly less tolerant of harmful exhaust gases polluting the environment. If you own or drive a diesel vehicle manufactured from around 2014 there is a high probability that it uses AdBlue, but your owner’s handbook will tell you, or you can get in touch with Autotec Northwest and we’ll be able to tell you.

If the AdBlue level in your vehicle runs out while it is in motion you may notice a significant reduction in power, and if you run out while the vehicle engine is switched off, it may not re-start until the AdBlue tank has been refilled to above the minimum level. Either way, you should also see a warning light appear on your dash.

There are a number of reasons why AdBlue levels unexpectedly run out and most of them are highly technical, whether component or software related. If your attempt to refill the AdBlue tank fails or lasts only temporarily, then it is time to seek the advice of an AdBlue specialist garage, such as Autotec Northwest in Widnes. We have the equipment and experience to diagnose and provide repairs or other solutions to ensure your AdBlue is working as it should.

It is important to remember that should your vehicle’s emissions exceed the regulations, then it is likely to cause an MOT failure. And with Euro 7 Standards due for implementation soon, it means that emissions tests will be even more strict.

Autotec Northwest is committed to delivering high standards in all that we do and are proud to have been accepted as a member of the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance (HEVRA), a network of the best EV and hybrid repair and service centres across the country.
