Do you have an Adblue problem? Unfortunately, most people's experience is that Adblue systems aren’t exactly reliable and when they go wrong are extremely expensive to repair as it generally involves replacing parts. The real problem is not even the manufacturer, or their dealers, seem to be able to diagnose the specific part that's failed so it’s become common practice to replace the whole lot (tank, pump and control module) in one, and more often than not, at an eye-watering cost of > £2,000!!!
The alternative is that we can remap the vehicle to bypass the Adblue system, with prices starting at £299.99.
What is Adblue and does my vehicle need it? AdBlue is a solution used in diesel vehicles to decrease the amount of harmful NOx emissions produced during the combustion process. These emissions are a byproduct of burning fuel and air in the engine to generate power for the vehicle. AdBlue is a component of the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system in a car, where it is injected into the exhaust system to combine with the exhaust gases. Through a chemical reaction, AdBlue breaks down the NOx emissions, resulting in a reduction of these harmful gases, although not eliminating them entirely.
Your vehicle doesn’t require it so bypassing won’t have any negative effect on how the vehicle runs, as above its only effect will be a higher exhaust of NOx.
Disclaimer: NOx is not currently measured on UK's MOT tests so an otherwise healthy vehicle as per manufacturer specification will currently pass a MOT emissions test. However, it should be noted that The UK's Road Traffic Act requires that vehicles on public roads be in a roadworthy condition. Removing or modifying any part of emission control systems, including the Adblue system, may render your vehicle unroadworthy and could result in penalties. By requesting this removal service you confirm that you understand that the vehicle should not be used on the road anywhere where it would be illegal to do so. UKCC Auto Techs accepts no responsibility for the use of this service on the public highway where removal of emission controls is prohibited.

Yes, once the ECU is programmed it no longer sees the Adblue system so there will be no warnings on the dash and the vehicle will continue to drive perfectly. NOTE: In some instances, the Adblue pump and/or module must be unplugged after the vehicle is remapped.
As with any form of remap file writing, there is always a tiny risk of failure which can lead to difficulties but these can always be recovered. The question shouldn’t be if there are risks but if there was a problem how is it handled? You’ll be pleased to know all our technicians are highly skilled and trained using only the best equipment to protect your vehicle from the risks of damage during the ECU remapping process. Saying that we would not take any risks with your vehicle so for peace of mind UKCC Auto Techs guarantees you that all our technicians are fully insured.
Yes. If you’ve been told or heard differently elsewhere you’re unfortunately been lied to. The good news is this only applies to manufacturer warranties (third-party warranties won’t be affected). Manufacturers make painstaking efforts to clearly state that unapproved modifications to any components will void their warranty so if your vehicle has a manufacturer warranty then you should think twice before having such a service performed on the vehicle.
Yes, because this is just a software fix it would be a simple process of installing the original file on the ECU. We permanently retain your original file just in case you ever require us to reverse the process.
Yes, we offer multi-service and multi-vehicle discounts, discuss this with your local technician.
