what they DON'T Tell you is AdBlue costs $30 A BOTTLE!!

[londonlaguna]

AdBlue is 67.5% Water & 32.5% Urea. So technically it is mostly water, but you shouldn't add just water to fool the system. Audi has a censoring system that will detect if something other than AdBlue was used. Some shady dealerships are charging $30 for a 1/2 gallon kruse bottle, but for the most part a 2.5 gallon jug can be purchased online or at most VW/Audi dealerships for $13.00

AdBlue, Another gismo that surely will fail after about 100k miles of daily driving...Todays auto industry is just there to help you get rid of your hard earned cash.

AdBlue is quite cheap in truck stops and methods how to calibrate the adblue metering is availiable, so there´s no immediate reason to go to a dealership. At least in Europe it´s much cheaper than diesel. My MB dealership was reluctant but did explain how to do it.

Using water will ruin the catalytic converter and DPF filter itself and EGR valve as well, this will reduce engine power.

you can just use water it only gets sprayed into the exhaust gas anyway
