Pan-European research is exposing just how bad problems are with the AdBlue engine additive in industrial vehicles.

An interesting read!

I have also heard from other sources that there's really no ICE R&D taking place anymore - what we have is what we'll get - and that all R&D is now focused on electric drivetrains.

Adblue problems are well known about. Just read about it on almost any vehicle forum.

It’s amazing how the mainstream media haven’t really picked up on it.

The systems are not fit for purpose. But one of the big concerns is with the software being dictated by the EU that the engines not allowed to restart after it has been malfunctioning for a set period.

I recently cut short our 4 week holiday in Germany when a problem occurred. From experience with other vehicles, I knew the count down to not start would kick in at some point. But didnt know how many miles it would start from. I spoke to Peugeot main dealer and they couldn’t tell me as they didn’t know …….

It’s now in the garage at home getting sorted. God knows how big the bill will be but if it’s less than £2k I will be relieved.

Also that too many people wrongly assume that when someone has a problem it’s because they haven’t filled up the tank or are just to cheap to want to fill the tank so are looking to delete it to save money.

Mind you the number of breakdowns means it’s become a big cash cow for main dealers and other garages.

We run a couple of 7.5 ton lorries Ford and Daff and to be honest we have had a couple of fixable faults but on the whole seem to run as designed.
