Great video as usual, however according to my local Volkswagen dealer in Salt Lake City you can not use any other AdBlue but the original one they sell. A very close friend of mine got a bad experience with that. He was buying the fluid at "Costco" thinking all fluids are the same. Then he got a check engine light on for bad quality of the DEF and not ODIS, vcds or any other tools were able to turn off the check engine light. My friend went to the dealership since it's under warranty and apparently they have a way to test the fluid and told him they won't cover this repair. He ended up draining the non original fluid out and filled with the original AdBlue fluid and the error actually cleared itself immediately after. Since then I only buy the original one and keep the receipts so if that happens to me, they can not play the same game. I know I can get free refills until the extended warranty expires, but they told me 1.5-2 hours wait time, so I just buy it. They will use any little thing to deny warranty work and I am not giving them any chance to win. Just my opinion (experience) and hopefully more people will be aware of this now. Keep up the good work mang!

@Flyingspann3r2 жыл бұрын
I agree with@@HumbleMechanic you don’t need to go to the dealer to buy their AdBlue. The required spec is 33% checked with a spectrometer. That is what the VW system is looking for when it does it’s quality check. Some places in the UK have been found to be watering the fluid down to improve their profit margins, but it just results in an error code and probably an expensive bill if it is still under warranty. To be safe, make sure you buy a good quality brand in a sealed container from a recognised petrol station or parts supplier and you will be fine. Look at the spec number on the side of a VW AdBlue bottle and match it to the spec you want to buy. After all, Volkswagen Group (VAG) don’t make the fluid themselves, someone else does.

Thanks for posting this video! I have a 2016 TDI Touareg and one morning, I notice my exhaust tips are cloudy followed by a check engine light. I ran a scan with VCDS and there were two codes, P229F & P20EE. I pulled the DEF injector and noticed right away that the nozzle had dried DEF. I cleaned the injector, reinstalled, cleared codes and have not seen the light again. But I still get some cloudy exhaust tips, but no check engine lightMy suspicion was since the crust on the injector was disrupting the spray pattern, it kept spraying continuously while at the same time a sensor was not detecting for the correct amount of spray that it was looking for. Also, while I had the DEF injector pulled, I looked inside of the exhaust hole, It has tons of buildup inside. Have you ran into this issue? Thank you for all that you do.

I had the NOx sensor and reductant tank sensor replaced by VW service (Under warranty) on a CKRA Passat 2013. Got the car back from the shop and as we left, the ABS system started barking. took it back to VW and they said the pump needs to be replaced ($4500). ABS was working just fine before. I've seen a video where you run out of AdPiss and it locks the system down, the ABS starts going off, even after resetting the SCR lock. Something is going on here and i've tried to trouble shoot the issue (wheel speed sensors are working as I see them thru VCDS). Don't knmow what to do other than replace ABS pump and control module and recode it.

I've had a golf TDI for the last 3 years and 50k miles (for a total of 100k miles). Never done anything except routine oil and filter changes (oil plus fuel). I also do a fuel additive every 5k to keep the injectors healthy since diesel quality in the states isn't all that great, and often times have a larger than spec'd % of biodiesel. Engines are rock solid but the emissions systems are always the first thing to have issues (fingers crossed nothing yet). I love it I average 41-45 to the gallon spring through fall with a lot of 75+ mph driving. Worth the extra dollar per gallon IMO.
