Actually, I'm not sure the Adblue is cheaper - as it's used at a consumption rate much greater than the DPF additive:
DPF additive think is supposed to be 80,000 miles worth?? For my 1 litre added,
Adblue, tank holds 17 litres and the book suggests that's only 12,000 miles worth!

Thats correct Matt, also one horror story of using the wrong additive ,ive a mechanic friend who worked for volov he worked on trucks he said one young mechanic put 25L of add blue striaght in the fuel tank !! Cost 16k for a new engine , so whom ever claims using adblue in stead of Eolys are stupid & a disgrace to there profession

Gosh! That was a big error... I can see how Adblue in the fuel tank would not make for happiness...

In it's current role as storage area, I thought I'd just chuck something into the 306.
That didn't go to plan! Blue 308 rear beam de-rusting progressing Cleaned up with powerfile and phosphoric acid applied

The 306 is feeling all unloved Matt - and that always leads to a bit of attention-seeking

Yes, I was just thinking the same thing on the other thread when you mentioned "giving equal attention to your fleet" !

Good plan Jim,
I've not got the project Vs roadworthy ratio correct so can only pacify a couple of my fleet with a nice test run / joyride

Well that covers my ignorance. It sounds like my understanding of adblue was completely wrong. Thanks all for clarifying.i don't know why it posted twice I was just quoting.

It's been a big learning curve for me since picking up this blue 308, first interaction with adblue for me, so have been researching to try and build my knowledge!

Same as me when Polly came along - and not only needing to learn about Adblue with her either! It's been most rewarding and endlessly fascinating to learn how modern cars tickMattBLancs wrote: 25 Aug 2024, 09:39
