Thread: REMOVING ADBLU SYSTEM

I heard John Deere tractor sellers here in Tas have a few machines in for repair that have caught fire due to the dpf burner igniting grass under the machine. I also heard that the dealer has permission from JD to remove the unit as they are not legally required.

Interestingly this guy sells New Holland and he said NH don't care if the ad blue system is by passed and on some models they simply let it run out. Others adjust the feed to get more power out of the engine.

My mate bought a new Cruiser and the dealer offered to fit twin snorkels to overcome the dud Intake system and offered to chip the motor as they tow a v large van. The warranty still stands but they had to hand over another thou or two!

Seems like raffertys rules apply as another mate had his 79 series black banned by Yota cause he had chipped it and modded the rear suspension and axle width.

Nothing is black and white!

The Iveco Daily 4x4 handbook says "Don't drive over or park on dry grass , leaf matter etc due to risk of fire" Its repeated a few times.

So much for using it as a 4x4 . The DPF regen temperatures are close to 800c Dry grass ignites around 250c .

I realise I sound like a spoilsport, and really I don't care - its all on the owner, not me. And on the thousands of people who suffer breathing illnesses every year because of vehicle pollution caused in part by people modifying their vehicles and ignoring the emissions laws.
Anyway, rant over.

You mean people who fit things like Steinbauer chip

They turn them away and put a note on the computer against the vehicle.

Was reading an article yesterday that toyota is having a lot of trouble with DPFs, mainly that they are performing their burns at odd times, such as after a 3 hour freeway drive, when you pull up at a set of lights.

Firstly, I didn't fit the Steinbauer chip, the previous owner did.
Secondly, I read that Steinbauer chips don't change the emissions. They just extend the duration of the fuel burn, so the same amount of emissions are emitted for each litre of fuel. Other chips try to push more fuel into the time, increasing the amount of unburnt fuel.
So I don't see a problem.

No increase in fuel rail pressure. No change to the engine ECU. Just a signal to increase the duration of the fuel cycle.

Can't tell you how to remove it, but I can tell you that all current model diesel Land Rovers sold in Thailand are ordered from the factory sans the Adblue system. The country is supposed to be Euro 4 compliant, so not required, in addition to Adblue not being readily available here.
