Will my car not start without AdBlue?
What happens if your car runs out of AdBlue? If you run out of AdBlue while you’re driving, then the engine’s power and performance will be reduced to ‘limp home’ mode to limit its emissions and once the engine has stopped, it won’t re-start until the AdBlue tank is refilled.
How do I start my car after running out of AdBlue?
If you run out of AdBlue™, your vehicle will not re-start after you turn off the engine – this is a condition of the EU6 emissions legislation and applies to all types of vehicles. The AdBlue™ tank will need to be refilled with a minimum of approximately 3-5 litres of AdBlue™ before the vehicle will start.

Is all AdBlue the same quality?
Is all AdBlue® the same? While there are different names for AdBlue®, such as Bluedef, BlueTec and so forth, all mixes should contain the same solution of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionised water. The VDA notes that vehicles should not use urea solutions not denoted by the ‘AdBlue’ trademark.
How much AdBlue should I add?
It is difficult to say exactly how much AbBlue® your car needs as models differ, but usage generally equates to around 1 litre per 350 to 600 miles. AdBlue® use is also usually around 3 to 6% of diesel consumption. The amount your car needs is dependent on engine size, driving style and the size of the AbBlue® tank.
What happens when you run out of AdBlue?
Normal operation is for the car to start warning you that you have 1500 miles of AdBlue remaining. It will continue to warn you every time you start the car, with a revised estimate of how many miles are left. When that reaches zero, it will tell you that the car will not start again until you top off the Adblue tank.
When do you get the AdBlue warning on your car?
We got the same AdBlue warning “your car won’t restart in 200 miles.” This is NOT an AdBlue warning. The true AdBlue warning should come much earlier, about 1500 miles. The warning in our car was a bad NOx sensor, replaced under warranty. All turned back to VW.

How does the AdBlue system work on a car?
The AdBlue system has a pump that injects a small amount of the diesel exhaust fluid based on the engine’s operating conditions. A small tank with a fluid level sensor stores the liquid so that frequent fill ups are not necessary.
