Pumping AdBlue

**akovach** · 16th July 2020, 07:50 AM

If it's anything like a TD6 D5, it is a pain, even with an electric pump. For some reason they get air locks. So it's a slower than necessary process.

Do all vehicles have this issue adding add blue,or is it just LR’s?

No idea, all other cars in our household run on petrol.

just a side thought,,,

have you thought about feeding a bottom fill line into the adblue tank?

I'd have thought an 8mm section of truck air line fed into the filler and left in place so you could just clip it onto a small pump would eliminate the issue of it air locking. alternatively use it as an air purge line so you can just dump the adblue in at a faster rate and the air will come out.

But why is it designed to be so difficult?

Cant it just be the same as filling washer fluid,brake fluid,clutch fluid,power steering fluid?

It is designed so that you buy the LR Adblue. The expensive Adblue.

Or give up in disgust and take it to the dealers!

Has anyone tried to poke a thin tube down the filler? Might have to give it a go...

FFS,would LR be that stupid?

If so they seem to be getting worse as time goes on.

Of course they would be - it’s exactly the sort of thing LR would do. Given by what I’ve read here, it seems like a complete **** up and even if I had the money to buy one (that’s never going to be an issue) this would be a deal breaker. Feel for those that have to faff around like this to make their vehicles keep going - LR need a kick in the head for this one.
