That's the price you pay for French shite... ::)

The Merc 350Cdi has ad blue top ups as part of the service schedule  ;)

Still now we know where French cars get their smell from :D

The Skoda both tells you how many miles range you have left (a tank lasts about 7000 miles of my commuting) and how much you can top up (right now it says 3.5-3.75L).

It is significantly cheaper if you can find a garage with an AdBlue pump (like a petrol pump but dispensing wee) and I think something like 60ppl..

It is the additive required when a diesel car is fitted with SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction). It reduces NOx emissions.

Hgv have been using it for 5+ years, needed for euro5 and above, in its first incarnation, it was made with horse and pig urine, and was called urea.
It's now a synthetic substance.
There is software available that cheats the system, so you don't use ad-blue,.if you run out you can wee in the tank, or just put a bit of water in as a get you home.

Our local garage is selling it at the moment for just under £13 for 4.5Ltrs,weird stuff....someone told me it's got p**s in it,or were they taking it out of me :-\ washed me hands after using it ....just in case :)

It doesn't have p**s in it that's just a rumour that was started somewhere, it's made from crystallised synthetic ammonia, dissolved in  77% water.

Maybe, but crystallised synthetic ammonia is posh for urea....which is the chemical compound found in piss......so if you piss in the ad blue tank it may do the same job  :y
