AdBlue removal Colne

If you have already cleared the AdBlue fault code twice and it has come back both times, clearing it again is not going to help. The system is telling you something is wrong, and every time the warning returns it is a little closer to the point where the vehicle will not start at all.

What happens when AdBlue goes wrong

The AdBlue system on Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesels injects a urea solution into the exhaust to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. The system depends on a pump, an injector, a series of temperature sensors and a NOx sensor. Any one of these can develop a fault.

When a fault is detected, the vehicle's engine management system begins a countdown. You will see warnings on the dashboard telling you how far you can travel or how many starts you have left. Clearing the fault codes with a diagnostic tool removes the display, but the counter continues in the background. It does not reset.

Eventually, the vehicle will not start. At that point, the AdBlue fault has to be resolved before the engine management system will allow ignition.

For vehicles that are intended for off-road use or export, AdBlue removal via ECU software update is the most direct way to resolve this permanently. The system is deactivated at the software level. The hardware stays in place. The fault codes cannot return because the system is no longer active.

This is not a patch or a temporary fix. It is a permanent software change to the ECU.

Frequently asked questions

What does an ECU software update actually involve?
We connect a specialist diagnostic laptop to your vehicle's OBD port and load updated software onto the engine control unit. The update removes the AdBlue system from the list of requirements the ECU checks during the start and run cycle. The process takes around 45 to 60 minutes.
Will the AdBlue warning lights come back after the removal?
No. Once the ECU has been updated, the AdBlue system is no longer monitored. The warning lights will not return for AdBlue-related faults.
Do you work on diesel vans as well as cars?
Yes. We work on the full range of Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel vehicles including cars, vans and light commercials. Contact us with your vehicle make, model and year and we will confirm whether it is compatible.
What if I need the service urgently?
Call us directly on 0161 694 7331. We will do our best to accommodate urgent bookings, particularly if your vehicle's countdown is in its final stages.
