Adblue system malfunction service now

Postby Andyfish19 » Sat May 05, 2018 7:04 pm

My van is 2017 model and done 24000 miles, i service it myself but I have had the above light up on the dash.
I have changed the oil again new filter, new fuel filter and also air filter. I have even drained out the ad blue and ripped it up with new.
But still I have this system failure and I've only got another 300 miles now before engine stop.
I've took it for a good drive and revved the hell out of it today for it to show a new fault exhaust filter over limit service now.
I'm stuck because I've serviced it today and thought this would cure it.
Can't really afford to take to a dealership.
Can any advise to me what I need to do?

Is it not under warranty as its a 17 plate ??

Ad-blue warning will come on if there is a fault with any of the emission control/engine management systems.
Looks like the soot load is to high thus the dpf message,have a look for any damage to temp sensors underneath, are you doing enough motorway miles and getting the dpf upto temp for regens. Really if you cant see anything you'll need the codes read.

Due to me servicing it I wasn't sure about the warranty.
I had my last transit for 12 years and never once took it to the garage.
I was hoping to do the same with this one.

I've not really done to many motorway miles, don you reckon I should take it on a good run and how far, also what revs?
The sensors all look ok.

Thanks for the reply

Is the service interval two years or 30000 mls and the 1st year service is just an inspection and you don’t have to have it done to keep warranty up

You'll have to take it to the stealer to have the AdBlue malfunction rectified. I did.
I had my last Transit 14 years and serviced it myself, this new Transit is a different kettle of fish until we get a program we can all use. f***'in Ford.
If it's under warranty you'll be alright. C0ckhead.

I'll give the dealers a call on Tuesday, I know they will say it's not covered and it's going to cost me ;(
Was hoping to have sorted it myself.

For the few quid it’ll cost, a service a year at a ford dealer keeps them on side and means that warranty claims will be dealt with without any hassle

Took it into ford earlier today. They have said it's a problem with my dpf and it's clogged.
So I've bought it home and I've taken the dpf off myself and about to clean it ;)
Mine as never regenerated while driving so I'm surprised it's this but I'll see

What were the fault codes, did they say what caused it to block ?

I'll let you know if I get a Ford extended warranty, but it will probably be one of those insurance backed deals that I've seen advertised on the television

I have a 16 plate transit with same problem.
What happens if you ignore it?
And how long have you got before service?
Only 11,000 miles very short journeys.
