You can also buy it over the counter at most petrol station now, it comes in 1, 5 or 10 litre containers. Its around 60 to 70p per litre.

So you can't use the Adblue that you buy at petrol stations or other shops?
Adblue is a DIY fill up, the car will have a small tank you just simply pour Adlue in, no special tools, no pump just remove lid from the bottle up so it glugs out. |

I think the 'Adblue is topped up by the dealer in the service' is a pretty good sales gimmick. On trucks we have an Adblue tank next to the diesel tank and an Adblue pump next to the diesel pump in the yard. I did do a test for our company when we first had Adblue trucks in, as no one knew how much they would use and at the time we were going to the dealers to get the Adblue. While our trucks are double or triple shifted and filled with diesel every time they are used, the adblue tank is probably sufficient for a fortnight or more without a top up, convert that to a car and you can see that it only needs filling up about as often as a service. If the dealer includes this in the service they can add a bit of mystique and therefore add to the service cost and even charge a premium rate for the Adblue while they're at it (...it's a special chemical which our technicians have been specially trained to deal with sir....), and given that too many people driving new cars don't have any interest in how the car works they can get away with it.

Think some of the v and s40s use it and the tank is under the car designed to be refilled as part of the service. It can of course be filled by the owner if they are prepared to crawl under the car to do so, how many owners of newer volvos will and how many just leave it to the dealer at service time, even if you did fill it yourself you would still get charged. A bit like the screen wash addative I get charged for every service, they have to empty fluid out of the washer bottle to make room for it but they do every service.
