Adblue Needs Filling - Level Indicator?

ScubaCollie · Oct 21st, 2019, 11:24

Hi All, my Adblue needs filling, and never done this before.

I need to find the level indicator to ensure i don't over fill it?

I've read the Volvo manual that came with my XC60 and it tells me i can find the level indicator on the App but no joy?

I've looked everywhere for it?

Can anybody help?

Also i've bought a massive tub of the stuff from Halfords (must be about 2-3 ft in height this tub, but now need to lift that up off the ground to top it up! (didn't think about it before buying lol).

What do you guys do? Will any type of commercially available funnel work?

I'm presuming your XC60 as the sensus touch screen. In which case with the car switched on go in to car status and it should show oil levels and Ad Blue levels. If the tub is as big as you say it's going to last you a long time. Decant it into a plastic jug to make it easier to handle, any funnel will do. Also if you spill any on the paint work wash it off straight away as it will make a mess of your paint work. Ad Blue is basically urea, or in laymans terms P**S.

If the low Ad Blue alarm shows on the dash the amount to fill with comes up in the Car Status message.

Look under the label on the tub you bought, it has a funnel to screw on to the tub to make it easy to pour out. The second pipe in the funnel is a breather pipe so it doesn’t gurgle as you pour.
