Ineos spills the beans on AdBlue for Grenadier! 

Good information thank you. The guy from Ineos could hone his people skills a bit!

Put some water in there mate. Enjoy

I have a 2021 Toyota Hilux with AdBlue which is not really to much of a pain filling every 10,000km but what is very annoying is that if it decides to go through a filter cleaning exercise it increases the engine idle speed so when you stop you have a high revving engine, not good and even worse is on a cold morning -10. When you start in the morning after it started its cleansing frensy it will carry on the next day. Don't think revving a Diesel engine at start with a -10 is any good for it. Be interesting to see if Ineos has this implemented.

OK guys... Here's some more facts about the Ad-Blue, coming from first hand usage here in Europe/Sweden. Price is not an issue - it's cheap. Reason they have this on all diesel engines in Europe (most of them) is because of emissions (as mentioned in video). What are the problems? They are many... If a car is standing still for a longer period of time, it starts to clog up/oxidize. Then you will have massive repair costs. If you spill Ad-Blue it is very corrosive. Make sure to clean it up. If you are in colder climate, like -20 C or colder, if will be problems as the Ad-Blue system stop working on many vehicles (like MB or BMW etc). Common issue here in north Sweden. ...and from my own experience last summer, in my Land Cruiser Prado 150 2.8, I had an issue on a long vacation trip with family and kids. 2:nd day in Germany my Prado turned on the warning lights for Anti Skid and Engine light. Stopped at nearest gas station. Car was running fine, but some minor systems were turned off, like cruise control and some others. Day after I went to Toyota Center in Germany. They found out the pump for the Ad-Blue system was not working properly. I could still drive and continue my trip, and repair when home. But it didn''t feel good going up in the Alps on small roads with no option for rescue - with family - when having all warning lights and some part broken system. Not great! When home I turned the car in to Toyota after a few weeks. The repair/exchange of the Ad-Blue pump was 5.000 USD !!! Pump only, from Japan, is almost 4.000 USD. My insurance covered 75% of this here as car was just below 100.000km In my case, with the Prado, I also have an issue with the placement of the Ad-Blue electronic unit/computer? sitting under the car, bolted to the side of the frame. Just under where you step inside, on the outside of the ladder frame. This box is the connected to a 30+ pin connector/cable that is stiff and impossible to move anywhere. In that position it is likely to get damaged when driving on rough trails or muddy pits. A failiure coming... :-/ This is ALMOST annoying me to the point I am considering getting an old car, without Ad-Blue. It is sad to see cars that are reliable from start, getting these "add-ons" that will only cause coming problems.

Thanks for calling people's attention to this small but mighty detail. My girlfriend got stuck in France with a diesel rental in the middle of nowhere, light came on wouldn't start and the customer service was totally witless about it. All they needed was a blu top off.

The issue with AdBlue is not the environmental issues, but the fact that if that system fails you get your engine blocked. We have AdBlue on our vans witch drive a lot. The AdBlue system fails regularly. The system then gives you 1-2000 km to go to a service station. After that you can not start the engine. Imagine you engine not starting for a faulty gauge... out in the outback. We hate that system becase it constatnly fails and then we must send the van into a service station for repairs. And of course, the van can not be used untill we got a termin in the service station. And those are not some old cars... they have 2-3 years in average.

All part of the climate con.

Millions of kilometres travelled every year by vehicles with Add Blue. It is not a problem if you are a competent operator.

Nice car and congratulations. But for the price for this car, you can get a Ram and Chev Or land cruiser. Safe travels

Not sure, but has the 'owners' of AdBlue ever issued any figures on how much emissions they have reduced over the years? Unfortunately, AdBlue doesn't clean the Fuel and Exhaust system. We use Cataclean for that. Keeps the DPF clean as well as everything else.

Also VERY interesting was just how defensive his responses were to your simple questions. I understand there are so many variables but yeah people skills were missing here . . . .

Interesting . . . . I imagine it is making you're now wondering about the accuracy of the adblue level indicator now considering your recent fuel level accuracy analysis! 👍

John - great vids and was stoked to find a one stop shop for my next purchases. By coincidence i have purchased an ineos and am about to pull trigger on AOR sierra. I was wondering if you had time you could assist me with some recommendations on 2 things; 1. Ineos Petrol vs Diesel. I picked Petrol as i am Sydney based with car going to be 50Km per day in peak hour M-F and then odd weekend away and school holiday trip. I will hopefully do on 8 week trip round Aus trip next year and if luck have a AOR on the back. Really been spinning my wheels on best choice. Any advice or thoughts? 2. Second is about trailer and i will put in trailer vid for consistency. Thanks

Do you know if the INEOS can be driven without AdBlue? What happens if you run out of it when u are camping in a remote area for example? Can you bypass the requirement for it? Don’t see why the set up will not let you turn the car on…

Good update

Good video John 👍😊
