A few of the ecu remapping company’s will do it for you.
They justify it on the basis that parts are extremely difficult to get hold of in the current climate. So it’s a temporary software change until parts are sourced. Otherwise the car will countdown to a point where it won’t restart. As that is what the EU wanted.
Generally if done well then the MOT wont detect it.
Many people are getting it done due to the issues in terms of lack of reliability of the adblue systems which in many cases are not fit for purpose.

If it was that easy, there would be all sort of adverts on FB and EBay offering backstreet 'solutions'.
Even if it could be done, you would have to put back all the AdBlu gubbins before every MoT, otherwise it would fail the emissions test.
It may be easier to simply buy an older model engine and swap it out twice a year.
If it's on a VW it can be done surprisingly fast, by a trained pit crew.
But it's probably cheaper to simply buy the occasional jerry can of AdBlu!

And there I am thinking that it’s being done to save a few £ notes buying Adblue.

Because I can just like the Adblue suppliers that use copious amounts of plastic containers.
I don’t need sarky comments.

I wish it was that simple for my MH. I wouldn’t mind the occasional Jerry can of it but it needs filling up every 400 miles.If it was that easy, there would be all sort of adverts on FB and EBay offering backstreet 'solutions'.

Nothing further from the truth with most.
When the systems go wrong it can be thousands to fix. If you can get the parts. They go wrong frequently with many vehicles.
That’s bad enough but just think having a car you can’t use at all and maybe not able to get repaired all because the adblue system has a fault. But everything else works fine.
Also applies to many vans and trucks. Anything with adblue.

My Pug does about 3000 per refill, either you've got a very small AB tank or a serious problem.

The DVLA have been cracking down on lorries using AdBlue defeat devices for several years and their use has now fallen. It is only a matter of time before they start roadside checks on the rest of us.

Edit.
p.s. people poisoning my grandchildren to save a few £ makes me angry.
DVSA issues new warning in a bid to ‘crackdown’ on driving rule
The DVSA has warned drivers they will be "cracking down on emissions cheats" as more vehicles are found with emissions emulators in their vehicles.

Makes you glad you have a pre AdBlue vehicle, doesn't it.

My previous motorhome was on a Mercedes chassis and I had no problems at all with the AdBlue system. I have heard of far more problems with the Fiat EGR system than with AdBlue so on balance I wish my current motorhome had AdBlue rather than relying solely on EGR.

At 400 miles per fill there is a serious problem most Fiats hold around 19ltrs

That's what deleting the adblue in the ecu gives you the opportunity to do, best of both worlds no emission zone costs no adblue win win.

My Ad blue system on the Crafter has an ad blue issue, faulty heater unit, luckily it doesn't have a countdown timer. Just had the part delivered and hoping to fit next weekend, only £190, but if I cock it up and break the feed line on the pump (which apparently is quite easy to do!) then I'm shelling out another £400.
Having said, I'd rather it all be working as it should.

My last motorhome had Euro 6 engine and no adblue so no polution issues or it wouldn’t have been manufactured. MOT passed no issues whatsoever.
New motorhome, same engine and adblue, so removing it cannot increase the pollution as there’s none to start with surely

One of the problems with adblue is if you let the adblue tank run low the sides of the tank chrystalise(spelling). Then the particles get in the adblue, and over time go through the system and cause problems.

Don’t see anything in that that gives the impression it’s a lot of vehicles when you look at how many Ducatos are sold in the world it’s probably a small proportion of them
