Are not all these Euro6 oil burners now using AdBlue, run out of that and the poor old fossil car will come to a standstill.
Pour it in your fuel tank it will also stop as well, the guy who shares my office did this last Wednesday, put about a litre in his fuel tank before he realised what he was doing, Audi charged him 480 for the trouble
The 17litre adblue tank in my Berlingo is supposed to last for 12k miles at least so more than enough for me. It can be topped up at annual service. Easy diy topup though. Blue filler cap by diesel filler. Warning light comes on 1.5k miles before empty tank so plenty of time to refill. Adblue is made from animal urine. You can buy it from any forecourt.
If anybody finds that too difficult to grasp they should not be driving. I guess if they were let loose on an E car they would probably electrocute themselves sooner of later.
I agree the guy in question is our regional fleet engineer
You can only imagine the stick Im giving him.
I even took him to Audi to collect his car just so I could see the bill, I actually think he got of likely I thought theyd fleece him for the pump and injectors, mind you hes got recovery on top

I am with Opensauce, if you dont know what goes where you should not own a car.........It aint rocket science.

He drives an Audi you say....... Speaks volumes! 😀👍
He just has too much going on that I think some of his little electric cars are needing a charge.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Surely anything that discourages the sale of new diesel cars is somewhat self defeating when it comes to pollution. All discouraging people from buying new diesel cars will do is encourage people to keep their older and more polluting diesel cars for longer?
All the bad publicity against diesel cars means to me and others like me is that there will be more cheap diesel cars on the market. Great news! I can now buy a newer diesel car cheaper than I could before, thanks folks!

Well I did that 2 to 3 months ago .. changed from a diesel to petrol ... and a 3.5l V6 at that ... may be letting the side down a bit though as the CO2 figure is only 145.
Yep like in France, they will just ban Diesels from going anywhere, so yes you will be able to buy a Diesel Tug cheap, but not be able to go anywhere in it lol!

With France being vastly agricultural/rural, I wonder how that will go down with the peasants that rely on diesel tugs to live. France brought to a standstill.
Do you honestly think that, for the foreseeable future, France will ban diesel powered vehicles from going anywhere.......lol. Please, what planet etc.
