Does any of the late Yetis use add Blue ??

Adblue is used in all of the euro6 Yeti diesels I believe.

Think that will be all post May 2015 diesels.

Facelifted Yetis from Mid 2015 were all built with adblue AFAIK

 

Typical, I get beaten to it by seconds when there'd been hours since anyone last posted.

Wasn’t it around September 2015 that the scandal first came to light?  Meaning it was some time later they engineered what others were already doing..........

There for the Euro 6 2.0 TDI Yetis as Euro 6 came in.

Mine is Euro 6 with adblue and was delivered in mid '15, so must've rolled off the line around May/June 15.

The pre-AdBlue diesels were [supposed to be*] Euro5.  Newly registered cars from September 2015 would always have had to have had Euro6 compliant engines, and had to have been type-approved by September 2014.  So no, AdBlue wasn't a response to the scandal, it was just a coincidence that the timing might look that way.

 

* Without wanting to launch another interminable thread about the scandal, my very hazy understanding is  that the "cheat" was required in order to pass more stringent emissions standards in the US - possibly only applying in California? - and may not actually have been required to meet Euro5, or at least not on all engines.  However, once the "cheat" had been discovered the EU required them to remove it anyway.

Ah.

I remember AdBlue coming to Australia in Mercedes Benz cars, and that must be a decade ago now, so I assumed the VW fiddle was to avoid doing it at all ...........and claiming ‘clean diesel’ at the same time.

@Ryeman

VW got AdBlue / SCR under licence from Daimler-AG / Mercedes.

 

AdBlue for Euro 6 was because they knew they had the Euro 5 results with TDI's with Defeat Devices and already had AdBlue in Vehicles and Defeat Devices reducing the AdBlue use, 

meaning they got away with small AdBlue tanks.

 

They still had and still have a cheat for AdBlue with some Euro 6 TDI's with SCR.

But now we are at WLTP Approval, Euro 6 temp, and they are a little caught out.
