Nope, it's the same but the thread is in the Transit Pig area of the forum so lots of Custom owners won't see it. I suspect the adblue consumption is higher on the Pig too.

You buy it from a fuel station and pour it in yourself, it's not difficult
Truck drivers have been doing it for years

Yep and some even have adblu pump for trucks so you only buy what you need to fill tank up
You can buy it in most garages now as cars use it as well

People hate change don't they? This really is not an issue worthy of worrying about.

This is cheaper than screen wash ffs. Takes 2 mins to refill. You get a 1000 + mile countdown before the ECU refuses to start the vehicle.

Our family shitroen has adblue and it's easy to administer & buy.

I did hear that merc charge 60 quid to refill on a c class! Haha..... if you are able to fill your screen wash up you don't need to use a dealer for refilling the adblue tank!

Ok, if you own a Bentley and you don't get your hands dirty in your life - toddle off to the dealership and get your pants pulled down....... but if any self respecting transit owner goes to the dealer to refill his adblue then I think you should have the van seized, crushed and you be struck off from life. :lol: :wink:

Merry Christmas! :D
