cosmicray Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 A question for the european owners of the 1.8L diesel powered TC. Does your version include the SCR system of emissions reduction ? This is also referred to as Diesel Emissions Fluid, or AdBlue (I think MB has yet another name for it). I have the impression that all, or at least everything above a certain weight, sold in the US since 2010 is required to have this. DEF/AdBlue is a mixture of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. Somewhere on the vehicle would be a tank to hold the fluid, with enough to cover 5k to 10k of normal driving. The fluid is sprayed/misted/injected into the exhaust stream to cause a chemical reaction to greatly reduce NOx emissions. Ford has this on their large block diesels sold in the US.

mrtn Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 No, just cat + DPF. The newer vDPF is some kind of vaporizer DPF which' work principle I am not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicray Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 The DEF/AdBlue became effective in the US with the 2010 model year. There may have been a few VW with it for 2009. If you are driving a '06 euro TC, I doubt it would have been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 No, we don't get any urea injections here. In cars, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
