I suspect the change to SCR (Using DEF "Adblue") is to lower the NOX levels below that required for Euro 6 in anticipation of the forthcoming Euro 7 regulations. I am happier not having the additional problem of "Adblue", cost, inconvenience etc. The new MY 2018.5 cars will still just be Euro 6, because that is what the current requirement is. |

Volvo Sweden has released the D3 with a standard 6-speed auto in the S/V90...lowest petrol is a T4 with 190bhp and 8-speed auto.

The manual (xc60) clearly states that the adblue freezes at -11°C which, it says, will prevent the engines from running.
Temperatures that low don't happen that much in the UK...but they do occur. (& a lot on Scandinavian countries) Is there a solution? |

i believe that Adblue tanks have a heater to prevent this.

This thread takes me back many years to when I was buying some Volvo 44 tonne FH12 tractor units with the then new Euro 5 engines and I went to Gothenburg on a factory visit. Adblue had appeared in HGV's at that time to meet emission standards and I remember a Volvo product engineer in Sweden explaining the virtues of this new technology.
A couple of worrying aspects were that if Adblue was allowed to 'run out' in the separate tank, the vehicle would go into 'reduced power mode', I wonder if this will be the case with SCR Volvo Euro 6 cars nowadays? Secondly, the cost of Adblue needed to be factored into vehicle running costs as it was used at the rate of around 3% of diesel usage, not a massive cost in running a car, but there all the same. The amusing bit was when someone asked the engineer exactly what Adblue was? His reply was that it was a 'urea solution' and the closest biological comparison was pig's urine! I've since heard stories of lorry drivers in the UK actually p***ing into the Adblue tank when parked up overnight and none of them have ever broken down or had 'reduced power' problems. I'm sure there's a moral to this story but it all depends how close you can get to the Adblue tank cap on a new XC60/XC90/V90/S90 without embarrassing yourself at the side of the road!

One solid frozen 10litres of adblue is going to take some de-icing... I guess we will find out over the next couple of days with temps forecast to drop to -12°C tonight and -15°C tomorrow. I'd bet though that if there is a heater it will only work with the engine running and so there are going to be a lot of stranded drivers whose engine wont even start to allow a heater to de-ice the chunk of iced ab, over the next couple of days. |

It'll be fine. Ad-blue is used in Nordic counties too.!!
