ad blue. 2017 e350

[onefortheroad]

hello people, 1st question on the e350 . will it use ad blue if theres no filler next to the diesel filler. or is it a separate thing in the boot or ????

My 14 plate ML uses Adblue so I'd be surprised if yours doesn't. A quick look on Google suggests it might be in the boot in the where the spare wheel would have lived ...

Mines in the boot exactly spare wheel well

No where near as handy as the spout next to fuel flap on my bmw 5 series!

Mine is in the boot area but I have never added any as it’s topped up at services.

I’d be pretty sure a 2017 car is BlueTec.

It will have ADBLUE the compliance to EU6 rules for diesels was circa 2015

My 350CDI 2011 vintage is Blue Efficiency, no add blue or stop start.

I'd have thoughts so ...... very carefully!
The second video with the squeezy bottle looks easier .... mine is next to the fuel filler cap & I just pour it in

Yeah I've just watched that using the mb squeezy bottles. I thought it used a lot but a full tank can last 2 years . Worry over.

Not sure on the tank capacity on mine? but the light came on mine after 10k miles (mostly motorway at the time) it came on soon after I got it, added 20 litres, then 10k later it was on again? I just used normal 10litre jugs of the stuff from Tesco...added very carefully..

i can see the benefit of using a tube system... but least I know how or what they do for the ‘drain’ process... I’ve a powered pump from Aldi which hasn’t been used to suck out oil which could easily be user for that.. is the 24k mile drain really required I wonder

I'd think only if ad blue had been unused after 24k later from a full fill.

I believe with the lateys updates more adblue is used to improve emissions.
I used to get around 8-10k on my 2016 W213 from the ~20ltr adblue.
Mine went back before the software updates so I can’t comment on usage after updates - just what I’ve read.

Anyone know if the top comes off the 1ltr bottles so I can refill it again and again from a 5ltr can. ?
