Topping up adblue

We have the same base vehicle, Doug. Our warning light came on at about 10k mls so it sounds as if your tank wasn’t full.

Our Ad Blue was bought at a local garage and the container had a screw on pipe which reached and pushed the flap back with no trouble. The tank took the complete contents of the container to fill it.

I read on another forum that the manufacturer doesn’t fill the add blue tank and also some dealers don’t either, if this is the case the only add blue in the tank will be what the manufacturer puts in when the vehicle is fired up, this could explain why the add blue miles are so different between vans. Our dealer told us we shouldn’t have to fill add blue between services..... we’ll see!

Thanks Guys, I was thinking that the tank was not full to start with as I was also told that I wouldn’t need to top up between services. It’s full now so I’ll be able to see the mileage now until the warning light comes on.

Next time I’m topping up I’ll try another add blue container to see if the funnel/ spout is longer than the Halfords one.

Cheers 👍

6200 miles from what could be only 10 litres used. I think that's a good result. 620mls per litre. check the handbook as usually the first warning is for say 500mls left then the second for say 300 etc etc. my jeep gives yellow then red warnings when getting really low. does your adblue filler not have a cap as if it has will not have a flap. adblue is corrosive so a cap is better.

How will I know if the system needs topping-up?

A series of warnings will be given via the driver information system, accompanied

by advice/messages. The first message is displayed when the remaining range is

approximately 1,500 miles, and is repeated every 62 miles until the range reaches

1,000 miles, at which point the warning turns amber. This warning is repeated every

31 miles and is accompanied by an audible tone. If these warnings are not acted upon,

the warning turns red; once this happens the motorhome will not restart once the

ignition is turned off. This is not a fault, but a required feature of the system. If this

stage is reached the system will need a full top-up before the motorhome can be

restarted. Further information is available in the vehicle handbook.

Important Information

• AdBlue® is not a fuel additive. This is why there is a separate AdBlue® tank

• If you put AdBlue® in your fuel tank by mistake, please do not start the engine, but contact a retailer for help

• Put only AdBlue® in the AdBlue® tank; do not fill the AdBlue® tank with any other liquids

• Prevent anything from contaminating AdBlue®

• If small quantities of AdBlue® come into contact with the vehicle’s paintwork, for example, wipe them off and if necessary rinse the

area with wate

It pays to check your facts before posting and clearly the Jeep differs from the Peugeot Boxer.

I can assure you there is a flap a few inches down inside the filler neck. I’d go and take a pic of it but it’s so hot out there.

As per this photo

If you have a filer point like that I would go to a truck stop with an Adblue pump, it works for my Skoda, yes I know it’s not a MH, around about 70p/l and basically the same as filling a fuel tank. 

Thanks again all. Yes as photo shows it has a cap and a flap a few inches down.

i was not aware that the adblue has its own filling point at the truck pumps. I'll check this out for the next top up as it surely beats holding a 10ltr container while trying to open the flap.

👍👍

Yep used to drive a lorry so wont be paying the 20ltr container price, pay at pump is the way to go
