Adblue Fiat Ducato. Range when warning light shows.

[Roundsquare]

I know this is a bit like asking how long a bit of string is, but do I need to stop and refill the Adblue at the next fuel station or can I carry on until I want to fill up with Diesel? Or even longer?
Thank you.

When my AdBlue light came on, the Peugeot manual said ‘the warning light will illuminate when there‘s 1500 miles range left’ …..

(Welcome to Fun, by the way!! )

On my 2022 when the adblue light comes on it takes 10ltrs to refill it so still has in theory 9 ltrs left which seems to equate to about 1k ish miles until drained which would be too late!! I just pop in 10 ltrs when the light comes on.

Just top up as soon as poss after the light comes on. 1st time on first trip the light came on i had no idea what it was. Bit of reading in the book and walla, next petrol station i filled up with Ad Blue, it's never been on since.
I just top up as and when, sometimes 1 ltr sometimes 5 or more.

I think you have a problem if you are only getting 1k miles from 10lts of Adblue. My 2022 140hp has used approx 1 tank full for 8k miles.

What are the consequences of running out of addBlue? (and is it Blue?)

Most vehicles go into limp mode or can stop altogether. So keep it topped up is my advice .

Its a clear fluid.

Yes I would! Incorrect estimate by me. I get minimum 6k per fill but on a 160hp depending on how I drive and if towing. Would be interseted in what others are getting per fill.

Initially it looked like I was only getting 100 miles to the litre but my last refill it's down to .4 of a litre.

Our 2021 Ducato, light comes up (i.e. the sort of exhaust type icon) which means you have quite a lot of miles left (handbook tells you how many) If you ignore it a bit later you will get a message that says x miles before it will stop. And the x counts down. Then if you reach the end of the miles, it will not restart! We fill up ours either as soon as possible after the first light comes on (but with no urgency, if that makes sense). We have never had the mileage count down. Or, because we hadnt filled it for a while we will fill before a journey. Given up trying to work out consumption, although gut response is that is improving.
