AdBlue Refills
We are now offering an AdBlue™ refill for £39.99 RRP
What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)?
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) also known as AdBlue™, is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable fluid. Stored in a dedicated tank in your car, it is injected into the exhaust system to clean exhaust gases.
How often should I refill DEF?
The consumption of DEF can vary greatly. An average consumption rate can be 500 miles (800km) / 1 Litre, but this consumption rate can be more than doubled, depending on the driving style, road and weather conditions.
How will I know if my DEF/ AdBlue™ levels are low?
The message centre displays a series of messages when the DEF level becomes low.
The first message states that the DEF level is at a level where a Top-Up is advised.
The second message is accompanied by an AMBER warning icon and states to refill the DEF tank.
The third message starts a countdown of the distance remaining until the DEF tank is empty, after which the vehicle will fail to start.
The final message is accompanied by a RED warning icon and is displayed when the distance remaining is zero and states that no further restarts will be possible until DEF is added to the tank
What happens if I run out of DEF?
Should you run out of DEF, your Land Rover will not re-start after you switch off the engine - this is a requirement of EU6 emissions legislation. The tank will need to be refilled with a minimum of 3.6 litres of DEF before the vehicle will start.
How should I store DEF?
Always store DEF in its original container, and please observe the manufacturer’s storage and handling recommendations shown on the bottle. DEF should never be stored in the vehicle.
Maintaining DEF/AdBlue™
It is important that your Land Rover’ supply of DEF is maintained, as EU legislation means that you cannot start the engine without it. Your car’s message centre will give you advance warning when your DEF level is low and will alert you in plenty of time to book a refill.
How to refill your AdBlue™ tank
The AdBlue™ reservoir filler cap is located under the bonnet on the right hand side. Please consult your manual for more information.
*When the AdBlue™ level becomes low, a notification message displays in the message centre. Refill the AdBlue™ tank at the earliest opportunity. A Land Rover Retailer/Authorised Repairer can be contacted to arrange a full AdBlue™ refill.
If required, AdBlue™ can be topped up using non-drip refill bottles available from a Land Rover Retailer/Authorised Repairer. An average consumption of AdBlue™ is 800km (500 miles) /1 litre. However, consumption can vary greatly depending on your driving style, the weather and the condition of the road.
