Have hit 10,000kms in Highline 140TDI and first fill of adBlue. Got a price from dealer - $82 regardless of amount required. Made sure it did not void the warranty and was replied to in writing and so filled up at local service station for $8.70. Got at 90 cents a litre self fill. Only precaution taken was a plastic bag and rag under the filler to eliminate any spill.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

I have always just filled up at a BP for AdBlue.
Just always remember to turn the ignition "on" for 30sec prior to "starting" the car after topping up AdBlue (re-sets the info in cluster)...MY18 VW Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition + Panoramic Sunroof + some extra goodies... (Pure White)
MY17 ŠKODA Superb 206TSI 4x4 + Sunroof + Tech Pack + Comfort Pack + some extra goodies... (Moon White)

I bought a big bottle from super cheap auto and have filled mine twice from it. Dealer gave me my first top up for free.
I didn’t do the 30 secs ignition thing thing. Either not needed, or just been lucky both times that I did it myself.
It’s a pity the cost of ashley isn’t added onto the cars economy figures. Rather convenient by the regulatory bodies
Same for allowing active dpf regents on cars that force them (Mazda for example- every 200-250kms). Nearly doubles fuel use for about 20mins, which on an interstate drive, is every 2hrs and makes a noticeable difference.
To OP, how many kms remaining were there when it got topped up? I’ve done 24000kms and seem to get about 9000kms. At that point there is only about 1500kms left on the countdown.
