Yeah same, thanks for this! Haven't done too many miles yet but I'll keep an eye out for any prompts of a top up!

Hi there guys,
I can’t seem to find how to check the ad blue level.
I have a 2022 transporter 2.0l 150bhp, no buttons on steering wheel, bulk standard van. I have done 17.000km since I purchased it from 28.000km with fresh service and I still have no advisory to fill.
Cheers!

Do I have to go into adjusment mode to use these I take it?
I’m still no further forward with this also.
I’ve done about 4k miles since buying the van and still have seen zero information on the ad blue anywhere.
I’ve upgraded to a MFSW still nothing.
Defo got ad blue as the filler is there.

Post a few pics of your dash and stalks.
Adblue also shows blank or ----- when it's been ECU
mapped out ...

I wonder, those people having AdBlue mapped out or any other environmental equipment, what do they intend to do when they sell the vehicle on?

If the seller knows the Adblue is mapped out and fails to mention it, or else misrepresents the truth when asked, that would be a criminal act of fraud.
But then it's likely that if they were honest and did mention it 95% of buyers would regard it as a plus point.
Personally I would not go near one. Not because I've any ideological objections to an adblue delete (I don't), but its a sign that someone couldn't afford to maintain or repair the vehicle properly so where else might they have taken a shortcut in the name of saving pennies?
I did actually have a car with it but that came my way via an elderley relative as a freebie so such concerns weren't pertinent.

Mine should be ok as I brought it from the second hand Volkswagen dealer.
Considering the SL instruments don’t shown oil level either, it’s not impossible.
Apparently there’s 2 startline instruments.
One can be coded so big digital MPH shows other can’t.
Mine has the big digital MPH but nowhere scrolling through the MFD settings says anything about the ad blue.
Other than the filler below the diesel filler I’d never know if it had ad blue or not.
I wonder if it only displays when it gets down to 1500 miles & comes up as a warning rather than a selectable display.

I went to my local VW dealer today here in Madrid and they said no way of knowing on startlines. Although I have done 17000km since the last service he said not to worry and that it would flash up when it needs filling up.
He also asked me whether I do a lot of motorway driving which I do 90% of the time so that plays a big part too.
Also was serviced at 28000km and it’s on 45000km at the moment, wouldn’t mind giving it a full service soon, they recommend every 40000km but that seems a lot! I wouldn’t mind doing it every 20000km. ( about 13000miles I think )
