Adblue

[cc3]

Just picked up a new 3.0d M Sport in the UK and dealer mentioned this engine now uses Adblue additive to reduce emissions. Understand you can do about 9000 miles before needing a refill. However if you don't top up, car won't start. Anyone had any experience ??

I'm living in the NL and adblue relatively new to cars (not trucks), I'm going to order my 10ltr refill jerrycan with mouthpiece from germany. My dealer charges 19.62€ per 10ltr refill. The demo car had to get a refill after 10.000km's but I expect to refill around 16.000

I paid £15 for 10L via an eBay retailer.

Currently there are about 500 gas stations equipped with AdBlue pumps in the Netherlands. Maybe you're living near one:

At pumps AdBlue is way cheaper than buying it bottled.

So I noticed but are is filling the same on cars ?

[phantomac2]

Yes. It's a standard.

10ltrs for £12.99 from most Esso/BP/Shell garages in UK. Certainly doesn't last long if you "use" the car to it's potential. I've done 9.5k and already put 18ltrs in!😳

Whooh, what's full potential? I've driven 9500km and have to refill 6,5 ltrs
