AdBlue & SCR system repairs in Northampton.

AdBlue specialists

AdBlue repair done properly

AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid) is injected into the exhaust by the SCR system to cut NOx emissions on Euro 6 diesels. When any part of it fails, the car warns you, limits power, and can eventually refuse to restart.

We find the actual cause with dealer-level diagnostics rather than guessing, then repair or replace what's needed: AdBlue pumps, tank heaters, level sensors, injectors (dosing valves), NOx sensors and wiring, followed by the correct coding and adaptations.

Questions

AdBlue repair FAQs

Can I keep driving with an AdBlue warning?

For a short while, but most cars count down to a point where the engine will not restart. Book in as soon as the warning appears to avoid being stranded.

Is it just a top-up?

Sometimes, but if the warning stays on after filling up with fresh AdBlue there is usually a fault with the pump, heater, sensor or injector. We diagnose it properly before replacing anything.

Do you remove or disable AdBlue systems?

No. Removing or disabling AdBlue/SCR on a road vehicle is illegal in the UK and will fail the MOT. We repair the system so it works as the manufacturer intended.

Which vehicles do you work on?

Cars, vans and 4x4s of all makes, including Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, Ford, VW Group, BMW, Mercedes and Land Rover.
