I was able to find the SCR metering unit / Adblue injector. Even with the car jacked up... it was still tucked behind / almost on top of the exhaust - fairly easy to miss if not careful.
I could immediately see a problem... I had crystallised Adblue everywhere. Upon closer inspection the pressure line connector was snappers on my metering unit. See #6 in the below link: - again not my car but it looks identical.

And as result Adblue was allowed to leak.
The only fix as to order a new metering unit (prices range from £200 £350)
To confirm the correct part I used

For my car (2014 F15) I needed part number: 18308514448
I will post more when this arrives and I fit it.
My only question is that how do you disconnect the two rubber hoses and also the electrical connector? The rubber hoses have jubilee type clips but it's not obvious how to remove them. Any ideas? I need to figure out how to disconnect #4, 5 and 7 from the "Newtis" link above. Any help would be greatly received.
The pressure line is ok because that is snapped off already lol |
How did your def line snap? Regarding metering unit: if there is build up, you could just let it soak in distilled water, or if you are about to replace it - in something stronger (WD-40 melts that thing rather well).
The two rubber hoses are coolant lines. You can just shove a screwdriver and pry the clips away. Coincidentally, I just came across this post which has a video on how to do them:

Thanks again.  |
The wire connector has a clip on it. Push/pull on the clip and pull the wire out. |
Thank you. That is a big help.
The plastic part on the metering unit snapped away. I have no idea why, what I removed the shield/ tray the hose was just hanging there. It took me a while to realise that it had snapped off and it was inside the hose. Annoyingly i only noticed it was snapped right after I had cleaned it with boiling water.
I have a new metering unit being shipped to me. Hopefully for later this week.
