AdBlue Services & Updates – Newmarket

Mouths Motor Company in Newmarket provides all aspects of care and maintenance for AdBlue systems, from fluid top-ups to software updates and sensor repairs.

How Can Mouths Motor Company Help with AdBlue Problems?

Your vehicle has sensors which monitor AdBlue levels and NOx emissions. If the sensors malfunction, they can cause error codes or system failures, preventing the vehicle from running properly. At Mouths Motor Company, we highly recommend having your car regularly serviced so that we can catch any potential issues early. We use diagnostic scans to determine the cause of the issue and then employ solutions such as software updates or sensor recalibrations to resolve the problem.

To perform software updates to your AdBlue system, we first connect your car to our diagnostics suite to find any faults or outdated software and then install the latest available software from the manufacturer. This can improve dosing control of AdBlue (so the right amount is used), fix any bugs in the software, enhance fuel and emissions for performance and for meeting regulations. Once the update is complete, we’ll run a test to make sure it’s all running correctly. This should also turn off any AdBlue warning lights on your dashboard.

AdBlue software updates usually take under an hour, but timing will vary depending on your make and model.

What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a fluid made from a mixture of urea and deionised water, which is used in diesel vehicles to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. When injected into the exhaust stream of diesel engines, AdBlue breaks down NOx into nitrogen and water vapour, significantly reducing emissions. It’s normally added to your vehicle just next to where you fill up with diesel (the AdBlue cap will be blue to differentiate from the black diesel cap).

How Can I Avoid AdBlue issues?

• Regularly check and refill AdBlue before it runs out – a light should come on in the dashboard to alert you that the AdBlue is running low.
• Make sure you store your AdBlue correctly – try to keep it out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, and always with the cap on tightly to avoid dirt or dust getting in and contaminating the fluid.
• Schedule regular maintenance of your vehicle to help avoid AdBlue sensor and injector problems, and also to help avoid crystallisation of the fluid taking place.
