Over the years the use of the AdBlue system has become increasingly popular. Essentially, the system is used to reduce emissions in a vehicle, which is why most modern cars with the AdBlue system.
However, often people are having the AdBlue system removed from their vehicles for a variety of benefits. We will take you through a few of these benefits in the blog.
What is AdBlue?
The term ‘AdBlue’ is referred to a chemical which is commonly used in Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) on diesel vehicles. The purpose of the AdBlue system is solely to reduce NOx levels in the car. The fluid again referred to as ‘AdBlue’ is a combination of urea and demineralised water that is injected into a vehicle’s exhaust system before being added to an SCR catalyst. When this process is completed, it results in a chemical reaction, converting the NOx into Nitrogen as well as water vapour.
Why would I remove AdBlue from my vehicle?
Well, there are a few drawbacks to an AdBlue system which has motivated people to remove the system, for example:
- The amount of AdBlue injected into a vehicle keeps changing, the vehicle’s electronics control this process. So, the amount of AdBlue a vehicle uses all depends on these factors: engine speed, engine load, exhaust catalyst temperatures, engine temperatures and exhaust gas temperatures.
- AdBlue can increase vehicle running costs, sometimes putting people off buying the car they want.
- If there is a problem with the AdBlue system, the vehicle starts to operate in limp mode (reduced power mode)
Right, let’s get into the benefits of removing the AdBlue system.
When an AdBlue removal is done, it improves fuel consumption, therefore, lowering the vehicle running cost and it can save you major bucks as opposed to a costly repair of the system! In summary, an AdBlue removal will benefit your vehicle in the following way:
- Improves the vehicle’s performance.
- You are reducing the running costs of your vehicle.
- Increase vehicle power when combined with a remap.
- It avoids a costly repair, in-case the AdBlue system does fail.
