      AdBlue System in Cars – Operation, Failures, and Effective Repair Methods

      The AdBlue System in Modern Vehicles

      The AdBlue system has become a standard feature in modern diesel vehicles – from passenger cars and vans to trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery. Its main purpose is to reduce harmful exhaust emissions so that vehicles comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards.

      In this article, we explain how the SCR system works, the role of the AdBlue pump and the engine control unit (ECU), and why regular maintenance of the system is so important. We describe the most common failures – from pump and NOx sensor malfunctions, through ECU software errors, to situations where disabling AdBlue in the ECU may be necessary in order to reach a workshop and carry out repairs.

      We also advise when it is worth repairing the controller and when a replacement Plug&Play module may be the better solution. If you want to know where to buy an AdBlue pump, how to recognize the symptoms of a failure, and how to avoid costly repairs – this guide will answer all your questions.
