Euro 6 Diesel and AdBlue
New diesels are now Euro 6. Does this mean that they will all use that stuff AdBlue, meaning a refill every so many thousand miles, and if it runs out the car will go into a low power running mode until replenished, or even worse not run at all?
If so, is this AdBlue stuff a DIY refill job, or will it mean a trip to the dealers? I see no mention of the stuff on Volvos websites nor that their new diesel engines use it? Regards |
That would be because they don't use it :)
|
Just that it was mentioned in a thread elsewhere that all Euro 6 diesels would be using AdBlue.

Just driven a new Vauxhall zafira to one of our southern offices. Noticed that it had an adblue filler next to the diesel filler, so definitely diy.
After driving that, I decided I much prefer my 13 year old v70! |

The D4 is a new engine and will replace all engines in the Volvo range - in the new XC90 for example. The rest of the V70 range (D2, D3 & D5) are only Euro 5 compliant, all cars (as far as I understand it) will have to be Euro 6 compliant by September 2015 - new models introduced beforehand will have to meet the new rules. Some manufacturers will manage to meet Euro 6 without using a DEF, and most cars by September 2017 will have a new generation of onboard diagnostics to monitor these new systems. Jon. N.B pity about the two threads on the same subject! |

The D4 is just a power descriptor. I think it needs to be made clear to avoid confusion, the new engine is the 1969cc VEA engine (available in D2,D3,D4,D5 power in the majority of models) which is Euro 6, whereas the older D4 (2400cc) isn’t Euro 6. Yes the new 1969cc VEA engine is going in the XC90 in various states of tune, with the first ones being D5 1969cc 225bhp. Quote:
All new Volvo models will be the 1969cc in various states of tune, bar the autos in some models (s/v60/v40) being sub 1500cc. Don't Volvo make things difficult to fathom eh?...!! Regards Ps:- ref the below: Quote:

You are the one that is incorrect and misleading, NONE of the MY2015 engines in the V70 (bar the D4) are Euro 6 compliant - they are all Euro 5. *in the current engine line up (in the V70 range) it is a power descriptor as well as denoting the new Euro 6 engine. Adblue, the other thread points out quite clearly that it is a brand name, albeit a trademark for a DEF. Jon. |

Maybe NONE of the MY2015 V70 models are Euro 6, but that is largely irrelevant, as would be say MY2014 or MY2013 as we are talking current engines - as all engines, current, from now on are MY2016 and are Euro 6. The 1560cc D2 V70 is no longer as neither is the 1984cc D3, with the V70 range starting with the Euro 6 complaint 1969cc VEA D3 Trusting that clears things up,anyway back to AdBlue..!! Regards |
We have just had new S60 D3 land at work and that is a MY16 and has a VEA engine in it,
Also had a MY16 V40 D2 land and that is also a VEA engine, |

The AdBlue filler cap is usually next to the fuel filler cap. The AdBlue tank is topped up each time your vehicle is serviced at an Approved Mercedes-Benz Retailer. One litre of AdBlue is sufficient for approximately 625 miles of driving and the size of the AdBlue tank has been designed so that you should not have to refill AdBlue between services. AdBlue consumption may be higher depending on the type of driving, mileage and road conditions. How much it cost i don`t know! One useful thing a light on the dash comes on at the 3 litre level mark in the AdBlue tank as the engine won`t start if empty!! AdBlue comes from the Dealer only! |
