I called the local Audi garage yesterday, they do an Adblu top up using a pump and just charge for what they use.
I'm not thinking so much about cost saving but more for convenience, as they are local and they said I could just drive in to the parts depot and thay would sort it out.

Would the Audi stuff be Ok?
The bloke I spoke with said he just couldnt say but surely Adblu is Adblu - right?

The Macan SD does not use a Porsche engine, its an Audi engine.

Thats good to know, so presumably the Audi Adblu will do the job.
I looked up the Q3 filling process and its same as the Macan, unless I'm missing summat?

It needs to be 22241-1 spec and not just 2224. You can see this detail on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Well by the time I got to the Audi parts place today my sign in car said 1400 miles adblu left.

He filled up with his little pump and it took over 20 litres.
He said it must have been done at last service which was 11 months and 10k miles ago so about right.

And yep itโ€™s the same stuff. Iโ€™m gact my adblu fillet cap has an Audi sign on it ๐Ÿ˜€
