Adblue tank

[kaydee]

Strange - my adblue warning came on, drove another 100 miles and then topped up myself - but only got about 12 litres in to the brim!

I suggest you try again. This was my experience as well, the first time I refilled. I think there's a tendency for an airlock in the filler plumbing (or whatever); if you fill to the first "it's full" point, go for a short drive and then try again, I think you'll get much more in to the tank.

I had the same problem refilling initially, but after a short drive I managed to top up with 20 litres. I initially tried to use a special adblue filling anti-syphon hose, but that was useless so I reverted to simply pouring it in very slowly through a funnel.

I had my SD in for the software update and they apparently topped up the AdBlue tanks without charge. It's a messy business and I'll let the OPC do it when it's needed.

I get about 20,000 miles per tank full, 20lts, I see Aldi are now selling for 80P? PER LTS

When I got my SD - OPC gave me foc 3 x 1.9L proper screw on Adblue containers in a black holdall. Used 'em for 1st top up after about 10k miles
Also got some foc engine oil - but not needed that yet.

I bought the same 3 bottles in the bag from the OPC. The guy in the stores said, when emptied cut a hole in the bottom of one and use that for a filler bottle.
I was in Marseille when the warning light came on for the first time, after about 13K. Would not get back to UK without refill. Where were my spares, tucked up nicely at home. Had to go to the OPC, while there. Tried to buy some more official Porsche bottles, which they did not sell. But said they would do the refill for me. In total £23. Can't complain at that.

Thats twice the mileage I get.

This came up on a previous thread, but it's easier the fill the AdBlue if the tank end of the car is higher than the front. I tried it the other way round and could barely get any in. Must be down to plumbing/airlocks etc?

Adblue refill warning up at 29,500 miles. This is the third time so about 10,000 miles per fill. Consumption might be down slightly or there may have been a splash and dash at 20,000 mile service.

Sorry for a potentially stupid question from a new owner but... do all of the sd’s have an adblue tank?
I’m only a week into ownership and haven’t got through the 6,000 page manual yet
