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,

  • AdBlue error message

    AdBlue tank always refilled on time, never went bellow half. The warning on the dash came when the adblue tank was near full. The top-up took less than 1L of adblue.
    The Crafter has still 1 year warranty remaining, so it's booked at the Southern Volkswagen for 17 February to rectify the problem.
    There's no fault anywhere in the system when scanned with the VCDS. Click image for larger version

    AdBlue error message

    No doubt it will be a fault in the pump itself or the Adblue injector is blocked with crystallised Adblue. If its the latter, and the injector is easy to access, its a quick fix.

    Saw someone the other day mention a product that you put in the fuel tank that stops/reduces the Adblue crystallising. It was a Wynns additive.

      The trip to the dealer was avoided.

      Updated software fixed this issue. Have driven since 300km, and everything seems to be working fine with no error messages.

      Just a few tips for those who are unaware.

      Always fill up the adblue and drive. I was always doing it at the end of working week at home, and often, the van was stationary for 2-3 days afterwards. It may have contributed to the problem.

      Always use fresh adblue, I always check the expiry date and can tell you that in many stores around Adelaide, they're selling adblue that's expired.

        Good to hear you were able to fix the issue without going to the dealership. How did you get access to and upload the software update?

        Thankfully my diesel vehicle is pre-AdBlue so I don't have to worry about this crap, but apart from being in date, also apparently if exposed to direct sunlight and heat it affects the AdBlue, so if petrol stations are storing it outside and its in the sun, you should avoid it.

          I've got a new one with Adblue but I always fill it at the new BP pump near work where lots of trucks go through.
          The old manual doesn't have and still going strong @ 557k.
