AdBlue Discussion and Issues
Update on my van. The engine management light came on, again, when driving south for Christmas. Called VW assist and made sure I got the VW assist tech as opposed to the generic AA vans.
Ad blue related error again. This is only one month after my last call out and the 3rd time since new.
Is anyone else getting this frequency of ad blue issues? I know that there is a software fix on the cards after having a good chat with the VW assist tech.

My engine management light came on beginning of December. Stayed on for a few days before going out again.
Couple of weeks later came on again and stayed on. My ad-blue range also went from 5000 miles range to 650 miles. Booked in to dealership for assessment. Got back van same day with 'ad-blue adaptions' carried out under warranty. Eng management light off and ad-blue range back at 5000 miles.
150tdi with 6ok miles
I asked the same question to the service receptionist but unfortunately she wasn't able to go into any detail.
As far as I am aware all they do is empty your ad blue tank, Then add a measured amount of adblue and force a calibration of the level sensor.
I’ve had this done 2 times on my van, and it’s NOT to do with over filling before you ask.
I don’t know why by my level sensor seems to get confused for no good reason.

They just turned the light off and it's not reappeared, its not far from the 80's and 90's fix of a dodgy back street (Take the bulb out)
I did speak to another senior tech over the PO46C Code i mentioned above, and apparently its the egr sensor throwing signals outside the parameters, and it logs these, VW are adamant its a software glitch and nothing more, as yet there's no fix for it
I think I've had the same issue tonight. I had driven around 120 miles, after the first 60 miles the emissions control lamp came on as a permanent light, turned the ignition off for 30 seconds but didnt go away, carried on driving for 40 miles then the ad blue alert came up the same as yours but saying i had 650 miles left and min 1 gallon - max 1 gallon? But earlier in the day the adblue said i had 4500 miles left?
i have the van booked in next week to get something else looked at so hopefully they can check this out too, hopefully i dont have another dud van after having a 61 plate 180 sportline that had all the known problems.

Oh he we go I just got shot of my 1.6 tdci focus due a lot of issue with that even after all my precautionary work on it. VW just called and the guy was very nice and said in fairness in his experience they have not had too many issues with adblue failures . Getting her booked in next week I hope. they have a courtesy car otherwise I am burnt toast without a vehicle .
I will update on the situ........

So what does this mean! I wonder? Do you still have the adblue error and mileage warning?
Hi, mine cleared itself. Though still have 2 fault code present in ECU . Got on the motorway and the adblue warning disappeared and the miles remaining went back to 2500 where it was when it faulted .VW garage on Tuesday.
Had you just filled it?
No, done 2500 miles on it, then it faulted .
