AdBlue Problems? Expert Repairs in Stevenage

What is AdBlue and How Does It Work?

AdBlue (also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF) is a crucial component in modern diesel vehicles' emission control systems. This aqueous urea solution, containing 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water, plays a vital role in reducing harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions through a process called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).

The SCR system works by injecting AdBlue into the exhaust stream, where it reacts with NOx gases at high temperatures to convert them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This process is essential for meeting Euro 6 emission standards and is monitored by sophisticated sensors and control units throughout your vehicle.

Common AdBlue and NOx System Problems We Diagnose

At TGPP Autocare, we regularly encounter these AdBlue-related issues:

AdBlue Quality Issues: Poor quality or contaminated AdBlue causing crystallization and system blockages
Urea Injector Failures: Clogged or faulty injectors preventing proper AdBlue delivery
NOx Sensor Malfunctions: Upstream and downstream NOx sensors providing incorrect readings
SCR Catalyst Degradation: Reduced efficiency in converting NOx emissions
AdBlue Pump Problems: Failure to deliver AdBlue from tank to injection system
DPF Integration Issues: Problems where AdBlue and DPF systems interact
Temperature Sensor Faults: Incorrect exhaust temperature readings affecting SCR operation

Common Fault Codes We See Daily

Our diagnostic equipment regularly identifies these AdBlue and NOx-related error codes:

P20EE - SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency

Below threshold - often indicates SCR catalyst failure or AdBlue quality issues

P042F - DPF Pressure Sensor

Range/performance problem affecting both DPF and AdBlue systems

P2201 - NOx Sensor Circuit

Range/performance issues with upstream or downstream NOx sensors

P20B9 - Reductant Injection Valve

Control circuit issues with AdBlue injector systems

We also offer ECU remapping services to modify or remove AdBlue systems where legally permissible. While these systems were designed as integral parts of modern vehicles, we understand that sometimes alternative solutions are needed due to:

Repeated expensive component failures
Vehicles used in specific commercial applications
Older vehicles where replacement parts are prohibitively expensive

Important: Any modifications to emission control systems should only be considered for off-road use or export vehicles, and we always advise customers of the legal requirements in their specific situation.
