Ad blue alternative

[OneForTheRoad]

Just a thought,and I know by using it , it won't drop Nox levels . But it won't crystallise causing many many problems, no need for forte additive and it's just over £5 for 10 litres . 67% of ad blue is made up of it . Could it be added as a top up. Would Nox sensors go Bananas?? Discuss please.

I don't think this will work because your car has NOX sensors which monitor the quantity going out the tailpipe.
If you replace AdBlue with water, they system might just through an AdBlue error seeing that no matter how much it sprays the emissions are not going down.
You might even get the dreaded 500 mile countdown.

Most vehicles have a combined Adblue level and quality sensor. Diluting it down will set a fault.

Those that don't have a quality sensor will instead set a SCR efficiency fault based on the delta between engine out and tailpipe NOx measurements being low.

So I topped it up today and the dash says full , so I guess the level sensors are still ok. The icarsoft prediction of 1491 miles doesn't give me much confidence though ,seeing as the tank holds 25 litres . I'm thinking icarsoft software is missing a digit on the screen and it's more like 14910 miles.
