Wait Adblue? I've done 20k in my C7 and it's not asked for any. Where does it go?

Yours is I believe, a 2013. It's only on the new ultra at the moment.

Is there a way you can tell how much is left in the tank? Or is it just a case of you need to top it up when the warning light comes on.

And should I be asking the dealer for a full Ad Blue tank when I pick up my 6k mile Ultra on Friday?

Think it is vehicle size/weight dependent. All of the A3s are Euro6 compliant but I do not think any of them require Adblue (even the 2.0 cars which effectively have the same engine as the A6 Ultra.

Believe it is just a warning light, although maybe somewhere in the depths of VCDS you can find out how much is in there. Can't see it hurts to ask and I think some on here have reported being given a bottle of Adblue when the car was new in the same way you used to get a bottle of oil. Are they giving your car a service before you get it, they might top it up as part of that? If not and it is on the fixed programme one of your free services will be gone in the very near future.

Not sure if the car will be on a fixed or variable service schedule.
