Jan 31st at 9 months old, my van was in at a Peugeot dealer for another matter and they advised me that the adblue needed topping up. The dash warning had not illuminated at that point, but as I was close to 5000 miles I instructed them to top it up and was charged for 7 litres.
I was surprised that they only managed to get 7 litres in as I thought the adblue tank has a 15 litre capacity.
Fast forward to this trip, 3.5 months later with a total of 8000 miles on the clock and my adblue dash warning is on ?
Very basic maths, if the tank is 15 litres, I’d used less than half of it in the first 5000 miles (assuming it was full from new), so should have been on course for nearer 10000 miles.
I’m also assuming my dealer will have filled it to capacity, to extract the most money out of me, as he sells it for more than he buys it, so why has it used nearly 15 litres in 3000 miles ?
A) A leak ?
B) A faulty warning light ??
C) Dealer charged me but didnt add any ???
