I recently bought a 2015 reg 110 bhp diesel Yeti, But cannot find a reference to ADBLUE in the user guide !

Where is the filler cap for this.

I thought all yetis needed adblue ?

 

Thanks

I never heard of ANY Yeti needing Adblue. They have a DPF.

DarrelGB's does it not because it has that system.

Isn't euro6 DPF + AdBlue?.

Many of the Euro6 engines (including the Yeti) need adblue, those that need it the filler is under the carpet in the boot

IF it does have it then by the spare wheel

Have not checked the boot yet as it's pi**ing down with rain at the moment.

If it used it, wouldn't it be in the index in the user guide?

The garage which sold it to me said it needed it, but maybe he was thinking of a different model.?

If the Yeti was built pre May 2105 it will not have Adblue.

pretty sure it will have been built before then

You got to love used car sales people.

Knowledge of the product they sell not a requirement.  Showing new owners of a vehicle important features not a requirement if they already bought and paid for the vehicle.

Servicing and maintenance of Sales Vehicles should be kept to a minimum to gain maximum profit.

Checked the yeti -

No filler in the boot by the spare wheel, so looks like it doesn't need adblue.

That saves a lot of hassle and expense.  :sun:

My ad blue filler is to the right of the spare wheel and pinches

some of the previously useful space.

I have just checked the skoda site and found that only yeti models from 2016 use adblue.

Mystery solved.

And the 2016 models are anything built May 2015 onwards.

It’s actually MY16 cars, so anything built from week 22 in 2015.

My MY16, built in May 2015, has an Adblue sticker on the inside of the diesel filler cap, showing that Adblue is put into a tank accessed through the boot area.

Just the software update to deal with now, or not, as the case will be!

Mines hidden in the boot on the right of the spare wheel, something tells me it was an after thought!!

Yes, it is an afterthought as the Yeti was not designed for the Adblue system and it had to be fitted into a convenient space i.e. the underfloor storage space in the boot.

In the new Superb, designed for Adblue, the filler is simply next to the fuel filler and the tank underneath somewhere.

Adblue system is needed to get the TDI engines to comply with Euro 6 emissions regs, hence fitted as part of MY2016 specification.

I just topped up our Superb for the first time.

Took all of a minute or two, hardly any longer than filling up the washers, and at £13 for 6000 miles motoring it's probably cheaper than screenwash too.

I wouldn't call that a lot of hassle and expense ?

Did you use the VAG 1.9L bottles or a filling station pump?

Neither - a 10 litre can from local motor factors.

Has a flexi hose/spout with it - just unscrew the blue cap off the car, insert nozzle, pour it in, job done.

Does water contaminate AdBlue at all?.

I *think* Adblue is mainly water anyway ? Might be wrong.

(I did wonder whether the car would actually know if you just poured water in....)

I wonder what would happen if you just "P"d in the tank having just read what it's constituted from!

 

PS: Not suggesting ANYONE tries this [just wondering - that's all]
