Adblue capacity not changing after refill

[Seanalf]

Yet another odd one. Picked the car up, E Class 220d 2016, had about 500 miles showing on Adblue, added a 5 litre pack, went up to 1800 miles.

I have a busy month's driving coming up, so I bought another 10 litres and some Wynnes, figured that would see me through a few months. Added the tub, but nothing seems to have changed? I don't have the countdown, obviously the 5ltr top up showed? Ive driven about 300 miles since I put the 10 litres in.

I have an icars V2, anything I can use on that to check? Is this car in trouble?

These mercs seem to take a while to work out the new range with ad blue top ups. I guess you'll get in one day to find it's registered and the range increased. Icarsoft will tell you things about ad blue ,wether it's accurate or not is another thing.

Just in case, let the seller know (assuming it's a trader), so that you have in on record.

No changes in a few days now, i have a long run planned for next week, managed to get the iCarsoft updated for now, it's not showing any fault codes in the OBDii section.

I've not had the countdown, I'm loath to put more in just in case it is fuller than the car thinks. (well, I have put 15 litres in and it's only showing 1800 miles..).

I'll email the dealer

My glc holds 25 litres I think. Range at the moment is saying close to 8000 miles.

Mines the same, but the range has only changed after the first 5ltrs i added to 1800 miles, it hasn't moved since I added the additional 10

Hopefully the Wynne's you added might clean up the sensors if they're crystallised. I always try to keep my ad blue full to the max. I read once it's best full and to keep the sensors wet .

Yeah, I'm kinda hoping it clears. There's no fault codes I can see, it has gone into "no start", no eml either, so I'm crossing everything as it's just a glitch

 

[Seanalf]

Hasn't, hasn't gone into no start!

Unfortunately, due to it being a poor system on Mercedes, sooner or later, a fault will appear, just the nature of the beast I’m afraid.

Isn't it always the case? You have a problem, and naturally you want to get rid of the car, but obviously you can't do that unless you fix it first, so you fix it, then you're thinking: we'll, I got everything sorted now, the car is fine, why sell? The lesson is: The best time to get rid of a car is when everything is working fine!

But I've only just bought it lol. I'm hoping my local can have a look next week and try a reset, see what that does. Like I say, not actual fault codes etc, so fingers crossed. Dealer is aware there's an issue as well

.....great.....and THEN SELL IT!!

A quick question for you, after topping up the ad blue, did you check the level on the dash? If so, what color was it showing? When it's full, does it show as a green color, and when the level gets low, does it turn a red Color?

It shows this. It's the first time topping up, so I don't know as yet. I've done just over 1k in miles, no change as yet.

Hi Seanalf, hereunder is a pic showing the AdBlue level in my w213. Despite fact that I topped it up in a fuel station from an AdBlue pump, which doesn't allow overfilling, I've only done about 150-200 Klms since filing it, and no change from the 4'900 Klms remaining mileage or the AdBlue level. This figure has not changed since I bought the car 8 mths ago, despite driving 4'000 Klms in the meantime. So remains a puzzle... But in yours, the full tank is indicated by the yellow colour, and the mileage has increased from 1'800 to 7'100, so its working as it should.
Thanks Seanalf.

OOPS... I posted the wrong pic above, its one of Seanalfs, hereunder find the one from my car: Clearly shows the 4900 Klms remaining, and the level at about 1/3 from the bottom, despite the tank being full in reality. Ditto, the Klms remain the same as when I bought the car 8 mths ago, despite having travelled 4'000 klms since. Bad delete??? (not by me)

“hereunder” = below (you are too clever for us lot buddy )

 

[Justintyme]

LOL.....Old age, old habits!!! But if I was really that clever, (I'm not) I would not need to ask advice from the forum members, now, would I?
