Hi chaps,
Anyone know whether there is such a thing? I dread every time my adblue warning comes on and I have to spend 30min at the garage at the HGV adblue dispenser. The slightest pressure on the trigger and it locks out. Just wondering whether there is an adaptor that fits the adblue tank so you can fill up at the adblue pump on full pressure, therefore taking 30 seconds to fill rather than 30minutes as it does at present?
Cheers
Not sure but you can buy adblue in tubs from most service stations if that would help ?
they come with a nozzle and a cap to re seal.
Appreciate that, but way cheaper at the pump, around £10 to fill up. Just need a damn adaptor if there is such a thing.....Quote:

I'll be topping mine up on a monthly cycle. I was given the Audi connection pipe which vents the air out of tank on filling. Still takes 20 minutes though.

I have just had my first AdBlue top-up for my A6 Avant SE Executive after the warning message of 1500 miles left came up, and I went to the local dealer to top it up. The charged me £1.50 per litre and nothing for their time. They were implying that this is something that I can do myself, but I told them that for the warranty I wanted it done by them and have that explicitly in the invoice, which they said they understood.
For beyond warranty, though, I was interested in the device they had, one with an air overflow, i.e. two tubes, which then they used to connect to the 10l can suspended on a stand. Filling it up with 14l took about 5 minutes, which was not bad at all based on other people's experience, and the flow stopped automatically when the tank was full. I briefly searched online for such device, but couldn't find one. Anyone knows where can I find one? Failing that, the adapter for the garage pump would also be very useful.
How about buying a re-sealable bottle once and refilling the bottle at the truck pump?
Does anyone have a link for where I can buy a magnet that can fit on the adblue nozzle?Quote:

They seem to be targeting filling stations and bulk purchase:
Elafix 40 filler neck collar for magnetic AdBlue nozzle
AdBlue Nozzle Magnet - Fuel Dump
Magnetic Vehicle AdBlue DEF Tank Adaptor | eBay :aargh4:
At those prices I would modify an AdBlue spout with some gaffer tape and a few of these:
SODIAL(R) Magical Magic Tricks Pro Ring PK Strong Magnetic Mythical Decor Size 20MM: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games :biggthump
...or 18/20/21mm Pro Strong Magnet Coin Finger Magnetic Ring Magic Tricks Props Tool | eBay
Them black/blue plastic adblue nozzle magnets adaptors don't work on the A6. I got one thinking it would. It doesn't.
