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

Product Information

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. 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. 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.

AdBlue is a colourless, non-toxic mixture of urea and de-ionised water. It’s not actually blue at all. There’s no manual way of resetting your AdBlue warning light – the only thing you can do is top up. Once you’ve refilled to the minimum level, the warning light will normally disappear (though you may need to go for a short drive for the refill to register). It's a trade name registered by the German car manufacturers association, but is the most recognised form of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). 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. 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.

This means that most drivers will have to top-up their AdBlue reservoir at least once between normal service visits to the dealer. 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.

Lots of people think AdBlue is made of pig urine – it’s not. The urea used in AdBlue is a high-purity man-made solution – pig urine wouldn’t be pure or sterile enough for a commercial product.

What is AdBlue and why do we need it?

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.

Most tanks of AdBlue will get you through around 6,000 to 7,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your car and the size of the tank. How do I start my car after running out of AdBlue? While AdBlue isn’t classified as toxic, it could still cause environmental damage if allowed to run into a source of water, and it can also be an irritant if it gets on your skin or in your eyes. Can I refill AdBlue myself?

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. Firstly, consult the handbook to locate the tank filler location along with any special instructions. 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. The Halfords Adblue 5L Pouch has a flexible non-glugging design, reducing the risk of spillage while also being a convienient size easily to lift and pour. 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.
