What is AdBlue and how does SCR work?

AdBlue is a 32.5% urea solution in demineralized water. Injected into the exhaust before the SCR catalyst (Selective Catalytic Reduction), it converts nitrogen oxides (NOx) — responsible for urban smog — into nitrogen (N₂) and water vapor (H₂O). This chemical reaction is mandatory since Euro 6 on modern diesel engines.

FAQ

AdBlue FAQ

+What does fault code P20EE mean?

P20EE indicates insufficient SCR catalyst efficiency. The AdBlue system isn't neutralizing enough NOx. Causes: defective NOx sensor, AdBlue quality issue, crystallized SCR injector, or SCR heating problem. Not to be confused with P20E8 (low pressure).

+Why does my car show 'no-start in X km'?

This is the legal anti-fraud mechanism required by Euro 6: when an unresolved AdBlue fault is detected, a countdown of remaining starts is displayed (typically 1000 km, then 500, then 100). Once at zero, the engine refuses to start. Intervene before the last 100 km — beyond that, towing may be required.

+How much does AdBlue repair cost?

Depends on the cause (identified via OBD): tank refill €40-€80, NOx sensor €250-€650 all-in, AdBlue injector €300-€700, temperature sensor €150-€300, tank replacement €400-€1000. SCR counter reset only (no parts): €80-€150.

+Can I disable AdBlue?

No — this is illegal in Belgium and France. Software disabling ('AdBlue delete') violates Euro 6, results in serious penalties at vehicle inspection, and invalidates type approval. We only treat AdBlue faults through legal repair: OBD diagnostic, defective part replacement, official SCR counter reset.

AdBlue light on or countdown active?

On-site OBD diagnostic 60-90 min. Official parts and reset — never illegal software bypass.
