What happens if my vehicle runs out of AdBlue? Your vehicle will show a series of warning messages on the dashboard to alert you that the level of AdBlue is running low. This usually appears when the remaining range is around 1,500 miles , giving you plenty of time to refill your vehicle with AdBlue.
On this note can CR owners share their experience re AdBlue consumption. I would think it is around half the tank or so for every 15000kms ie 12 - 18 litres depending upon driving style. Market cost is about $50 for 25 litres, don't know what dealerships charge. Tank size in the CR is 24 litres.
AdBlue is a liquid solution – an exhaust fluid that’s only needed if you drive a diesel car or van that’s fitted with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. This liquid is used to reduce the amount of air pollution that a diesel engine creates. Why does my diesel car need AdBlue? Put simply, it’s about the environment.
Some adviced me to get the urea tank filled out, washed and refilled with Adblue but paying attention to have sensors, fitters and other admission plugs cleaned too. Done that and the problem was solved for the modest amount of €499 + VAT at the garage. The car runs wildly, but the costs for maintenance are too high for any French designed car.
How long does AdBlue last? According to GreenChem, a typical mid-sized diesel car will travel 1,000km (620 miles or so) on a single litre of AdBlue. Most AdBlue tanks hold around 10 litres or more, so you may find it won’t need to be topped up until the next scheduled service.
