Did you put enough in? I think I read somewhere that you need to put in at least 3.8 Litres or something like that amount when the light comes on, that's 2 bottles.

 

I think the dealer is trying to get some extra money out of you to be honest,
the message on mine cleared automatically after I'd topped up enough.

 

Is the AdBlue the same as you can buy from petrol stations?

 

It is, you can also buy from Halfords and Peugeot parts both of the later are cheaper than petrol stations in my experience.

 

Its the same stuff in petrol stations. The one to avoid is for lorries/commercial vehicles.

 

If its Adblue its Adblue, but beware og the fluid rate, here is A quote;
The price of AdBlue® is not an indicator of quality in that all the branded diesel exhaust fluids are of good quality and conform to VW, DIN 70070 and ISO 22241-1 standards. For this reason it is strongly not advised to try and make AdBlue® yourself from high-grade urea. You should use AdBlue® approved by the manufacturer and packaged in the original containers. The AdBlue® brand is a registered trademark of the VDA (Association of the Automotive Industry).

To use the lorries Adblue in persons car you need an adapter, wv got one, This adapter have A build in magnet, That make the Adblue flow.

 

Last week 4 days after a service my Adblue light came on so went back to Peugeot dealer and I watched at least 12 ltr of Adblue go in but light remained on.
Eventually fixed by a software or is it firm wear update being input.

 

I was under the impression that replenishing of AdBlue was part of the service!

 

It is meant to be yes.

But depending on the number of miles you do it may run out before the service is due as I think the tank only holds enough for about 15,000 miles.

Certainly the case with me, I've had to top it up twice now between services.

Also, I have to be honest, the service I've received at the dealer hasn't always been what I expected... for example, after some repairs I found the light level switch had been re-fitted upside down and the first time I needed AdBlue topping up they charged me just under £50... hence why I've topped it up myself since... £11 and 30mins of my time.

I was charged £30 outside service, mine needed topping up a few weeks before the service..

 

Service every 25kkm, AdBlue every 20kkm. Manual say so.

 

Have always done mine myself is very easy to do. My dealer didn't do mine when it had its 2nd service and 4 days later I had the warning come on. Took the car back to them and complained as I thought it was part of the service (was on my service receipt) and they wanted to charge me another £9.99. Said bye and do it myself now. Also use a different dealer now who seem to know alot more than the other one and so far have been pretty good.

 

urea warning

my car has just been in for its first service and the wiring loom from the adblue tank was replaced under a recall notice mines is a 15 plate 308sw I know iam late to the party but just reading the threads for more info

 

Interesting, mine is due its 40k service soon so will ask them about it when I book it in...

 

It also pays to shop around a bit - mine needed topping up a couple of thousand km before the service was due, and I saw some in a local service station for around €14 for a 1 liter bottle. I wasn't prepared to pay that, especially since I knew you needed to put in about 4 liters for it to be registered by the system. I found some at a different service station along my commute at €8 for a 10 liter bottle, and that I was more than willing to pay.

 

Seems to be a rip off item.
I bought 2 x 10 ltr. via Ebay and delivered it worked out at £0.80 per Ltr.

A word of warning I would not recommend handling larger than a 10 ltr. container to pour from as it is quite heavy so glad my 20 ltr. was in 2 containers. I did read the ones you buy on forecourts have a shorter use by date on then necessary to cover the fact they may well be in sunlight, so mine are stored in a place they get no sun.

 

My warning came up on my dash a few weeks ago. Yesterday after a long trip away it seemed to drop from the originally stated range to something a lot less.

As I don't pay (company does) I dropped into Days Haverford West Peugeot garage. I was charged £9.98 to top up and I had my car washed too - whilst they gave me a 20p to get myself a coffee from their nice coffee machine.

 

I've checked the MyPeugeot online, if you book online for AdBlue its fixed price essentials as £9.99

 

That's good value if both material and labour.

 

Yes its all in and dealer car wash too (its not the best but better than nothing)

 

I have the same issue. My warning light came on the other day so i have topped up the fluid and the warning light is still on.

Is there a reset procedure that i could follow?

 

How mutch did you put in.

 

Last month my dealer had a recall notice for my car and did something with a rear harness I think to cover that, check with your dealer if that is the case.

 

urea warning

the esso garage at craigleith on the Queensferry road in Edinburgh charges 9.99 for litre or 11.99for 5 litre no brainer but watch the sell buy date

 

When I was finding out about ADblu I learnt that the sell by date is put on for garage forecourts as it stands in the sun.
If I bought as I did from a large supplier on Ebay and stored correctly I could ignore the date.

 

I have been doing some research about the Best before date, and old Adblue, is a big no no, If storred incorectly.

 

A lot to read here but I suggest particular posts #23 and #45

Iteresting, i entend to fill My AdBlue, from a truck filing point.

 

Didn't think so.

 

Dealer needed yes, but do not think reset right word.

 

I got the warning several days ago, too. I have 1200 km to go, but I have a couple of question:

1) Where exactly on the car do you fill it up from? I can't find it either on the car itself or in the manual. I read that the most common place, is below the trunk, but I can't find anything there. The Denon subwoofer takes most of the place, but there is one thing I can scroll off, but it doesn't say what's for. Wouldn't wan't to fill something up that's not supposed to be there.

2) How big exactly is the AdBlue tank on the car, if you have to fill it up to make the warning disappear?

Thanks!

 

I refilled at a truckstop, used a Adblue adapter it took 3 minuts, notice that the tank Can hold more than 17, liter, but Adblue needs headspace to expand in Winther time If freecing.
You have to remove subwoofer to get acces to the Adblue tank.

 

Depends on the model. Mine is under the spare wheel in the boot - capacity is 17 litres. Peugeot have a deal where they will top up your AdBlue for £9.99. I had it done a couple of weeks back, no brainer.

 

Oh sorry. Completely forgot to mention the model. It's a 308 from 2016

 

On my 308 its in the boot under the carpet on the right hand side next to the spare wheel. It is a big black cap just unscrew a quarter turn then under that is a small blue cap, just unscrew that and then you have access to the adblue. I use a funnel with long extension to fill mine as it can be abit awkward and saves any spills. Holds 17 litres in total, mine had the wiring changed for the adblue system on a recall early in the year as there isxa known fault that once the warning comes on it wouldn?t reset once the tank was topped up. Never happened to me but was done as a recall on a service along with other things.

 

Surely you don't have to have warning light reset each refill?

Just put 10 litres of AdBlue in and the urea warning light hasn't gone out, does this mean it will go into limp mode when it reaches 0kms even though there's plenty in the tank? Oe would think justby refilling the tank resets things, a pain if you need to fork out whatever the charge is for clearing the alarm and a rip off! 2016 308 Allure btw.

Recording to manual it does NOT Go into limp mode. You cant start the engine.
