After it has been suggested by some sources that Adblue Yetis will be ok for NOs emissions ,would a retro fit of a Adblue tank in the boot now be a solution or will it have to go on the roof?

Not sure im following. Why would we need adblue tanks retrofitted in the first place?

Why would they? AdBlue only applies to diesels that use Selective Catalytic Reduction.

Because the new 150 Tdl Yeti some sources say meet Eu req and as pre 150 Tdi's don't because of the VAG cheat, so this could compensate owners and stop them from legal action.

Did these pre-150 TDis use SCR? If they didn't there's more to converting them to SCR than just an AdBlue tank and a pipe to the injection manifold or diesel pump.

The Adblue goes into the exhaust stream, not the combustion chambers. I would have thought it would be possible, if expensive, to fit the necessary bits/sensors/tanks to any car really.

OFGS!!!

My mother used to say if you've nothing to say say nothing.

 

If the subject does not interest you look elsewhere.
I could ask the mods to move your comment to a more general thread as it is nothing specifically Yeti.

 

It does worry some as Yeti could be involved.

Locking in 3...2...1...

AdBlue tanks are not going to be fitted to pre-MY16 Yetis! That's a daft idea.

What might happen is that owners get their software changed - which won't be popular as it is likely to increase AdBlue consumption or it could even effect performance.

A trailer might be a better idea, like a mini-tanker, given the amount of Adblue that will be used if the emissions controls operate at the correct level.

 

I may have to bring the fitment of the towing bracket forward and given its constant use might as well go for a fixed rather than removable one.

Part of the reason I asked this tongue in cheek question was because Skoda have fitted an inlet for Adblue IN THE BOOT on the new 150 Tdi YETI WHICH IS THE SAME BODY SHELL,and I very much doubt if it will be located in the same location on the next generation YETI so Skoda came up with this solution specificity for an old body shell but being able to use Adblue in the 150tdi which has increased performance and economy to the old 140 Tdi so I think for those reasons it is YETI specific and when introduced to the Superb the inlet for Adblue was located under the fuel filler cap next to the fuel filler,I hope this gives a bit of clarity to the question .

But the previous Yeti's without Adblue dont have any issues with false emission readings.... so im afraid the question still makes no sense?! 

I am all for discussions to the point they get heated and sometimes people have to agree to disagree but can we keep the personal comments out of the discussion.

 

It's no fun for mods to lock threads.

But they improved power and emissions by fitting a different engine and exhaust system. This happened to require fitting an adblue tank somewhere in the car. You can't just retrofit an adblue tank to an older car and expect things to magically change.

What they managed to do was fit the tank in such a way that didn't have to spend loads of cash producing the new tooling which would be needed to make the different body panels to have an external filler for the adblue.

I have not see any evidence yet from Skoda to confirm or deny the their engines are affected, only that the EA189 2ltr is the engine involved and WAS fitted in the 2009-2015 Yeti.

Should read as 2009-2013 Yeti

Sounds a bit like the episode of Dads Army where they had a gas bag on the roof.

Can they fit a large balloon to the exhaust pipe? When it fills, just pop down to your local VAG dealer and they will exchange it for an empty one.

It's likely that Fred, like me, remembers that as fact of 1940's life rather than as a Dad's Army joke.  :think:

I thought it was the ecu/software programming and not the engine

The adblue works with a different kind of cat, which I think on the vag engines sits before the dpf.

I like the idea of the balloon but will there be so many VAG dealers around in the future post cheat gate.

Seeing VW management have admitted at least 11 million are effected and they specified 2009-2015 vehicles, I expect my 2012 Yeti to be effected.......or have I made another foxes paw?.

Currently the only ones that we know are definetly affected are the US cars - 2009 to 2015 TDI Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle and Audi A3s, and the 2014 to 2015 Passat. European ones have been confirmed to be affected but afaik there's no definitive list of which vehicles are effected here, yet. From what I understand on the U.S. cars, when the ecu swapped over to test mode (automatically done due to the sensors and ecu working out its not actually being driven on the road, under load but under test conditions where the unloaded smoothness of the power is almost impossible to mimic) it did a number of things to reduce the nitrogen oxide levels of pollution. The biggest single change in this 'test mode' was achieved by using this onboard urea system to inject during the full test cycle.... All of the U.S. cars that have been confirmed as affected, use this system, so my assumption is that that's exactly how the euro versions have 'cheated' the test routine also. Therefore I would only be 'concerned' if I had an ad blue system installed in a four cylinder vw car aged between 2009-2015.
