REDEX RADD0033A 5L Adblue With Spout 5 Litre Fuel Additive Treatment Fluid

Product Information

It’s not a major safety issue, but if you don’t top up, you’ll eventually run out of AdBlue and you won’t be able to start the car.

As Landowner Blue is manufactured to ISO22241 specifications under license of the VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V.) you can rest assured that our product is of the highest standard for your car. Find out what it does, how it works and why it’s important to keep an eye on dashboard warnings – particularly if you’re a high-mileage motorist. Once you’ve completely run out of AdBlue you won’t be able to start your car. You’ll get plenty of warnings from your dashboard when your AdBlue is getting low though, so make sure to get on top of it as soon as possible. AdBlue is an exhaust fluid, not a fuel additive. It's stored in a separate reservoir and is topped up via a (usually) blue filler cap located either next to your fuel filler, in the boot or under the bonnet. Many new diesel cars use a fluid called AdBlue. If your car uses AdBlue, you'll probably need to top it up at least once between services.

AdBlue is added to your exhaust and mixes with the fumes your car produces. It reacts with nitrogen oxide gas (NOx gas) created by your engine and breaks it down into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. If you run out of AdBlue while you’re driving, then the engine’s power and performance will be reduced to limit its emissions. Once you’ve stopped, you won’t be able to restart the engine if the AdBlue tank’s empty. The AdBlue tank is usually located under the boot floor, where the spare wheel might have been in the past. But it's more important to know where the filler for it is located.

Typically, the AdBlue filler will be found next to the fuel filler nozzle, but other locations include the spare wheel well or either side of the boot.Vehicles have to meet strict exhaust emissions limitsand the latest standard, Euro 6, is very challenging on Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)limits. Most cars can only meet the Euro 6standard when fitted with emissions technology known as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). This technology uses AdBlue to break down and reduce harmful emissions. Is AdBlue toxic? Wash your hands and rinse any spills from the bodywork – AdBlue is non-toxic but can cause irritation to your skin and eyes and may damage the paintwork. Be aware that although AdBlue is non-toxic, it is corrosive and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs. Peugeot recommends that, due to the position of the tank, the refill is carried out by a local dealer, but says that if you intend to do it yourself, the vehicle must be on a flat surface with the engine switched off.

NOx gases cause respiratory problems and contribute to the formation of particulate matter, smog, acid rain and ground level ozone. For example, the Volkswagen Touran features an 11-litre tank, while the larger Touareg boasts a 19.5-litre tank. When the warning light first comes on you’ll have plenty of time to refill – so don’t panic. Just make sure you don’t put off topping up, especially if you’re about to book an MOTtest. Screw on the connector of the refill bottle and allow the AdBlue to drain into the tank. Some systems require a minimum amount, so consult the handbook. If you do start your engine, then the damage could mean that you have to get the entire Selective Catalytic Reduction and AdBlue injection system replaced.

Technical characteristics

CO2 footprint of Yara's AdBlue 3,5-litre pouches is approximately two thirds less than that of a conventional can This means that most drivers will have to top-up their AdBlue reservoir at least once between normal service visits to the dealer. Peugeot is more optimistic, claiming the AdBlue will need to be topped up every 12,500 miles. How much does AdBlue cost and where can I buy it?

See if there’s an AdBlue filler cap either next to the fuel filler, in the boot or under the bonnet. Yes, you can refill AdBlue yourself. Typically you’ll find an easily accessible AdBlue filler cap right next to the diesel filler cap. Simply unscrew the cap and pour in the AdBlue solution. Is it ok to drive without AdBlue? AdBlue is a colourless, non-toxic mixture of urea and de-ionised water. It’s not actually blue at all.Not all car manufacturers use AdBlue technology. But chances are if you’ve got a diesel from Jaguar, Land Rover or any French or German manufacturer, and it was registered new after September 2015, it’ll use AdBlue. How does AdBlue reduce exhaust emissions? Volkswagen says you can expect the first AdBlue warning message to appear at 3,000 to 4,000 miles in a Touran or 6,000 to 7,000 miles in a Touareg. A passenger car might consume 1.5 litres of AdBlue every 620 miles, with the size of tank determined by the size of car. Inside the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst, harmful nitrogen oxide in the exhaust reacts with the ammonia and is transformed in\to harmless nitrogen and water. The car will give you plenty of warning that the AdBlue tank is running low. You'll usually see a text warning on the dashboard when there's around 1500 miles' worth of AdBlue left.
