Re: Adblue Remap
It’s part of keeping the emissions within the required levels. I’d not risk the van failing its MOT by tinkering with it.
What's the problem with topping up the AdBlue?

It may be inconvenient, but it's illegal to disable any emissions control device. So in legal terms - no you cannot.

Re: Adblue Remap
I thought from the header that this would be about a map showing all filling stations with Adblue pumps, which would be useful. On two occasions now I have bought Adblue in 10 litre cans where the supplied filling spout is not quite long enough to trigger the flap in the Boxer filler fitting.

Re: Adblue Remap
I only ever use pumps. That way it's no harder than putting diesel in, and it's only every 4,000 miles anyway (11 litres when the warning first starts, at a cost of £12-15). Pumps are more common on the continent, though. Are there any in the UK? I don't mean the unpleasantly crusty truck ones which I'm not sure you should be using, as apart from the risk of contamination from the nozzle, they have a higher flow rate. I'm talking about the stay-clean type, specifically for passenger vehicles, found on the same pump islands as the diesel pumps. I don't recall seeing any of those in the UK yet.
I think interfering with the engine software to stop it using AdBlue has its own risks. What if elevated emissions are detected somehow at MOT time? And when you go to re-enable it, it doesn't work anymore because it's not been used regularly enough. And what about other side effects? And what if the dealer overwrites the engine software at a service? Mine was done in April this year as part of an engine software related recall.
I know you can also get an AdBlue emulator which is a small CANBUS-connected box which pretends to be the pump, tank, sensors etc. Obviously detectable though.
These things might turn out to be necessary to keep a vehicle working in the far future if parts or AdBlue become scarce, but for the foreseeable future I'm not convinced.

In addition, I have no doubt you would invalidate your insurance as well.

Re: Adblue Remap
I don’t get why anyone would get a remap of any kind, especially knowing people whose remaps have become corrupted causing all kinds of issues & a nightmare to get resolved. As for Adblue, DPF or EGR deletes just don’t do it, if you’re having issues just get them sorted by a troubleshooting specialist like Jimmy at O’Rileys autos.

It’s a shame someone hasn’t produced an App like with LPG showing stations with Adblue pumps, like you I find trying to decant Adblue from a container a nightmare & the pumps at the service stations are just so much easier & definitely the way to go.

Re: Adblue Remap
Some (most?) of those don't have a pump. A couple of BP stations near me that I use regularly are on that map, but when you click on them, it says "AdBlue Cannister".Monty-Plym wrote:Here is a link to a map of all BP fuel stations that have an Adblue pump

Isn't it. I don't know why the UK rollout of pumps seems to be non-existent.

Yet we’ve had 3 vans with AdBlue and had no trouble at all with the system.

i was wondering what "AdBlue Cannister" meant? Does it mean plastic kegs (5 litre etc) ?v8oholic wrote:Some (most?) of those don't have a pump.

Re: Adblue Remap
Yep. Initially I thought it was an odd choice of word, as most people would probably say container. But the dictionary says:Baggiecamper wrote:i was wondering what "AdBlue Cannister" meant?

a round or [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] container used for storing such things as food, chemicals, or rolls of film.
It fits the definition, as it's a chemical. Maybe it was written by someone technical! I don't know why I can't get rid of the formatting on "cylindrical".

You appear to have cut and paste the word "Cylindrical" from Google and have pasted it as a hyperlink, if you copy and then right click and select "paste as plain text" you won't get the issue.v8oholic wrote:Yep.

Jimmy at O’Rileys Autos says the only time he sees problems with Adblue systems is when people wait till the Adblue warning comes up on the dash or when they let it run right low, his advice is to top it up regular & says if you do this you won’t see these kind of issues, how accurate that is I have no idea… but judging by his troubleshooting skills I’ll personally take heed of his advice.

Problem with that is AdBlue has a shelf life and if you are not doing many long trips.CC wrote:
