@@wawayltd would you do this on Mercedes C220? Where are you located ?
Sorry mate, I have no experience with Mercedes. I'm not even a mechanic.
@@wawayltd I’m sure it’s the same way.
Probably.
Very briefly and clear video. Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
Great video - very clear and concise!
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much, this video was VERY helpful, and your English is fantastic!
Thanks 😊
Thanks for your all your explanation and teaching, please continue you are a good mechanical and it this tips we don’t need to spend lots off money in mechanics🙏🏼
Thanks Pedro, I'll try my best.
Saved my life again.. Thanks for making these Sharan videos
You're very welcome 👍
There will be more.
Thank you, videos like this can save good money.
I hope 😊👍
Keep up the good work, nice videos, and nicely explained.
Thanks 👍
Very good English my friend, you have worked hard on that skill, well done! And thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍
You are the king of adblue injector cleaning stuff.
Hopefully the same applies to bmw...🥶
Great video sharing adblue system
Thanks
Thank you very much for this video. VW dealership wants to charge me £380 to clean it. Thanks to your video now I can do it myself.
Hope it helps 👍
Thanks for these videos. I have a Sharan and don't worry about repairs now I've found your channel! The main fault I've had so far was a faulty temperature sensor in the adblue system. Cost me nearly £2 to fix!
2 quid for a sensor?
@@wawayltd 10K waterproof thermistor soldered in place of the original and then fed through a hole into the tank. A bit of hot glue to seal it up and it was sorted. Here's a link to the fix though he fed the cable down the filler. The connector and wire colours are the same just in a different place www.myturbodiesel.com/threads/def-p205b-temp-sensor-diy-fix.28155/
That's out of my league... I'm only good at unbolting and bolting new one 😁
@@wawayltd nothing technical and screw connectors would do when they've been wrapped up in tape. Easier than cutting into the canbus looms to wire my towbar!
You should make videos..
Thank you for your time and effort to get this video out. You saved me a fortune in stealership invoices! Don't be hard on yourself about your English, it's perfectly fine.
PS: a vacuum cleaner or shop vac is your friend.
Thank you very much 😊
And thanks for the advice 👍

You're very welcome 👍
@@wawayltd as a follow up to this, a garage I dealt with snapped the nozzle on the other end of the injector which receives the feed of adblue from the tank. I tried fixing it with araldite but that didn't work. Is there any way of getting a replacement nozzle? In the end I had to buy a whole new injector. Also, there are quite a few injectors which look the same. Mine was a VW Sharan (UK) and when searching online I found a Land Rover one which looked the same. Do you know if the ones which look the same work on different cars - would be good to know as the VW/Bosche one was very expensive. I am all sorted now but this follow up may help others trying to fix their ad blue problems. Many thanks/ C
Lots of brands may share parts, it just needs to be referred to catalogues that show that. As for little specific bits I normally order them from TPS or dealership, if it's not too specific GSF or Euro, also if you have time to wait couple of week Autodoc can be really good.
@@wawayltd thanks for your swift reply. Keep up the great work. C
Nice and informative, thx
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this 👍
You're welcome 👍
Great work. Your English is excellent. Just a thought with the catalytic converter, perhaps using a shop vacuum cleaner whilst pickup out the adblue. I feel much better about the adblue issues people are having.
Good idea! Thanks 👍
Thanks I’ll try it
very good video. thanks buddy

Nice video... thanks

Great video.
Thanks 😎👍
Thanks for the video. I've worked on all my own vehicles for many years and saved many thousands of dollars in doing so. I've recently had the check engine light and code P204F and P20BA coming up on my 2017 Ford Everest with the 5 cylinder 3.2 Litre Diesel engine. Only symptom being the check engine light with no noticeable power loss or any other changes. I am pretty certain it will be an AdBlue crystallisation problem somewhere in the system so under the car I go. AdBlue does a remarkable job in lowering the emissions but there will no doubt be many headaches in the years that follow. By the way, your English is better than most of the Australian population so don't be sorry!
Thanks Rusty! Glad if it helps. Don't know what's the setup on Ford Everest, we don't have them here.. AdBlue is pain in the bottom, things we do to improve emissions. My current car is 1.6tdi Skoda Octavia it's Euro 6, but it doesn't have AdBlue which makes me happy.
@@wawayltd hello what's the default code of this part I'm from France thank you
@@wawayltd because I have the fault code P203B
@@abdelben2353 What part are we talking about?
@@wawayltd adblue injector
I just used vacuum cleaner when was cleaning the adblue crystals from exhaust
Good idea 👍
Great vid thanks
You're welcome 👍
I love you secret technology!! 😺🤣 thank very much for your clip.
What about using a hoover (dust extractor..) while you are fiddel with the deposits at entry of catalitic convertor?
That is a great idea, but I didn't have it in that garage.
Your English is very understandable don’t worry
Thanks 😊
You should use a vacuum while cleaning the catalytic converter. Easier overall. While preventing debris from going inside.
Very good idea! Thanks! 👍
Very good idea! Thanks! 👍
I was thinking exactly the same while watching the video. 👍👍
Brilliant idea
Super 👍🏽 bravo 👏👏👏

I'm going to do this ASAP! Thanks for the video!
Hope it helps 👍
Thanks for sharing this informative video
No worries, this was easy one actually.
Brilliant video, thank you!
By any chance have you measured the resistance of the electrical connections? My injector was pretty clean and it has not had any attention for at least 20,000miles (time I have owned it) so wondering if it is working properly. I have 12.2ohm (after removing meter cable resistance).
Thanks.. no I didn't measure resistance.
No worries, I couldn’t find any resistance info on the internet so not sure if that is right. Although did find out that this particular Adblue injector is called a Bosch Dosing Module (UREA injection) 3co.131.113.c, should anyone need it. I haven’t replaced mine, hopefully with no further issues.

So work his cause DPF sensor problems too? I have a Mazda cx7 with a similar problem.
Sorry mate, no idea what you just said...
Top video, Great job, thx
i have sharan 2013 130kw,i changed the hole ad blue system. after some times driving saying no engine start in 1000km ,the point is when i drive for 200 km and then after some times i start the engine, comes again the same error " no engine start in 1000km",
any ideal would be appericiated. thank you
I have no idea, sorry. I think it needs to be scanned.
Another very good and helpful video. Thank you.
So what kind of Foulty Code is in this case to see on OBD?
I think I had something like P20EE
Perfect video, the problem i have is that my injector pipe has broken and it seems that the components above it (the flexible pipe) is touching the injector and is breaking the pipe of the injector. I had the car DPF cleaned and since they put it back the exhaust this issue is occurring. Has anyone had similar issues please?
Maybe people who dealt with DPF, didn't put exhaust back properly?
I have huge problem , after chaning the adblue pipe cause it was leakig at the front connector the new pipe went leaky again. Again the conncetor , it got bended by the presure and went leaky again. Is there somthing i can do wrong when connecting it to the injector?
I'm not sure. I don't deal with these connections often. In my experience they just click on... and no problem. Although, I have a leak on tank side. Maybe it's a pipe/connection?
Till I find time to check, I can't say much, sorry..
Can you add a brake fluid change and coolant fluid change to your video library in the future please
I'm thinking to change brake fluid at some point.. Not sure about coolant. Maybe. I wish I had more time 😉
So what fault codes would you get to have to do this injector cleaning?? Great video
I cleaned that injector just along with other stuff that needed to be sorted, such as NOx sensor. One of the codes probably could be P20EE..
@@wawayltd thanks for your reply my friend :-)
NONE. IT FIXES NOTHING. Nonsense Video.
Hi mate I change my adblue injector and install another one but I have problem my adblue broken cause the exhaust came off the from exhaust holder and due to this the adblue injector is broken. Do you think i should change the exhaust holder?
Sorry, for some reason I never had any problems with exhaust.. Don't even know what to suggest.
hello what's the default code of this part I'm from France thank you
How did you prevent the Adblu from flowing down on top of you when you disconnected that hose pipe? Did you clamp it above or disconnect it above somehow?
I think it's above the fluid level. It didn't leak.
Hello, I explain my doubt : I am worried my seat Leon is not consuming AdBlue, but at present it doesn't give any alarm. In case the adblue injector is clogged like in your video, does the car send an alarm in the cockpit? Additional info, my car is 50.000 km, so quite new, but can the same issue be happened to my injector with a so low mileage?
I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to any of your questions. Perhaps with no AdBlue getting into exhaust gas it may sense on sensor down the line and give you fault code. Depends on car, I suppose. The only way to see if it's clogged up is to take it out. I have done this video quite while ago. I get some criticism in comments, so now I'm not sure if it's necessary procedure. It won't harm anyway.

thank for Your video one question, do You Know where is in the volkswagen caddy?
Is it probably the same place? Does it have AdBlue?
@@wawayltd yes, i wil see the place
Very hot water Steam pressurized steam cleaner is seems to be the absolute best but very hot water in a pump up pressure sprayer works almost as good
Did it require any software or code updating after you did this job please?
No, it doesn't need any software.
Hello can I short the connectors of the injector? I am in vacation, the diagnosi said error p2047. I would temporarily disable it. May I reset the ecu? Thanks
Does it give you mileage countdown in AdBlue system? If it doesn't I wouldn't worry about it - when you get home get it fixed. I'm not that professional - I don't know ways of cheating that system. I know that whole AdBlue can be disabled by plugging something to tank connection and them messing with ECU, but if you just short injector connector, I don't think it will stay happy... but as I say - I'm not professional.
Hye.. i using toyota prado. 2.8 diesel. My problem is my car have a white smoke. The mechanis says it was from adblue. Is it possible thats was from the injector? Sory my english is not very good. 😊
Hi Ariff, my VW also has white smoke during regeneration. I know it uses AdBlue. In my case I think I have a problem with DPF.
I don't think I will be able to help you with your Prado, sorry I'm not professional.
Is this applicable to Peugeot? The blueHdi has serious problems with adblue/urea SCR with invoices going from 900-1200€
I don't have experience with Peugeot. It all depends what kind of problems SCR has, there are other components apart from injector.
@@wawayltd the problem is that the Urea crystalizes inside the sistem blocking the injector or the other parts involved in the process.
When it happens (and happens to every blueHdi engine) replacement of the Adblue reservoir is needed otherwise the car will not start.
As much as I love my car - I hate this AdBlue system! Especially when they program it the way, that car won't go anywhere if there's any problems. Even though it's not affecting cars performance.
I've got an issue with Picasso and the UREA tank, do you think this would be the fault? Nothing leaking error says fluid pressure too low but tank is full
I don't know, could be a problem with the pump, or blockage somewhere... If access to injector in Picasso is as easy as in my VW, you can always try cleaning to see if it helps.
@@wawayltd thank you, got it booked into garage I'm not as brave as you taking it on myself. Did you get any trouble after cleaning the blockage? From what I've read its £700 for a new tank / pump before paying for installation!
I had trouble with AdBlue heater, but rather than that it's all good.
I cleaned the injector and bought a new sensor. I still have the error P20EE too low efficiency. The catalytic converter itself seems to be intact. Do you know what else could be the cause?
It's a tricky one, I'm not that good, sorry
When you disconnect as blue pipe , is as blue not running out ?
Very little - almost nothing.
how often do you clean it ? how many miles ? thank you
When I had that car, I did it few times. However, I can't say exact mileage. It's easy accessible, so can be checked once in a while.
I have a Jaguar XF and get message “incorrect diesel exhaust fluid detected no engine restarts in xxx miles” could the injector be the problem. ?
Don't know, sorry... Especially considering that Jaguar is a mystery for me anyway. Is the AdBlue fluid normal?
is this the same principal on a 2013 Audi Q5?
Probably
How we should know if it's time to clean injector or not? I mean, if (or when) the pump broke down it's to late...
I don't know. Some comments say there is no need to clean that at all. However, it's really easy to check it's condition.
hello I got my adblue switched off and 2 weeks later I got code p2047 reductant injector circuit open bank 1, what do i do?
I would talk to people who have switched the AdBlue off..
I have this error:
196887 - Control Circuit for Reductant Pump 1
P208B 00 [009] - Implausible Signal
If I cleaning the injector like your video solves my problem?
Any ideas?
I don't have any experience with pump failure, so not sure what to advise, sorry. Cleaning AdBlue injector is very easy, you can always try it to see if it helps.
@@wawayltd It will not help. Why do you talk nonsense? Do you understand how SCR works?
If you put engine working while cleaning the hole where injector connects you won´t let get in any garbage.
Good idea
after how many miles it was tuck like that?
Not many, probably like 40-50k. First time I cleaned it, ir was worse condition and that was after 200k+. Currently I'm on 370k.
Got a engine warning light for NOX sensor. Could this be the reason ?
Does it say what sensor? 1 or 2? If you have V-engine which bank?
@@wawayltd it’s a Citroen relay 66 plate mate , it’s my work mate who’s got the problem I’m not sure wether it’s 1 or 2 .. he got a message on dash saying check adblue system aswell as nox sensor engine light . But the adblue message has now gone
It needs to be scanned to determine which sensor it is, ang go from there. Unfortunately I don't know much about Citroen..
I filled the tank with adblue, but it still warns me that I need to add adblue. what to do?
Put ignition on for 30 seconds without starting the engine, turn it off, and start the engine. That's what manual says.
Why not use the water on the exhaust part as well? Will water damage the system?
I just didn't want crystals to go inside exhaust.
@@wawayltd Thank you. Probably best to do it your way.
Where are you based ? I need to get mine rinsed out as well 😭
Oh, it's easy done - you can do it 👍
what is the VAS number for that special tool? We also need to order that from factory 😌
Unfortunately they sell it only to dealers. Original has FANTA brand on it. Coca-Cola is aftermarket version 😁

I have same fault 2015 a6 tdi p20e8
What codes or symptoms lead you to this?
I think I had something to do with AdBlue performance, but I don't remember by now, sorry
Hello is the error Code P2047?
Sorry Dmitrij, I don't remember by now..
should it be cleaned every how many? how many kilometers is your car?
My car is on 650.000 km.
I don't know how often you have to clean this injector. I do it occasionally.
650,000 km seriously with all the original parts? Fap, catalyseur etc....
New EGR, 3 x clutch, new steering rack, many cambelts, new oil cooler+filter housing, 1 new driveshaft. Rest is still original.
Probably will replace DPF soon.
ok the dpf and very resistant I would not have thought. you are a great roller!
Thanks! 👍
Happy New year! 🍾😏
I could use a vacuum cleaner to suck all that right ?
Yes 👍

What error code was?
On that day I didn't have error code, but it may come up with something like P20EE
Can this get rid of code p204f
It's pretty easy to get it out and clean. Whether it will help, I don't know, sorry...
P2047/P2049 Hello, I got message of P2047/P2049 Reductant Injection Valve Circuit/Open Bank 1 Unit 1
, do you think cleaning the adblue injector could help for this problem? I tried to clean the error code, then it can run a couple of days, then error message comes again. And engine error light is on. Thanks!
I don't know if it will help, but I would try to clean it first anyway, because it's easy. Maybe it will help..
Thanks
Forget to say, I like Sharan, and I like your video a lot. It really help me a lot for many times. Thank you :)
You're welcome 👍
Did you get this fixed? I have the same error code P2047.
Just water won't work and needs to be hot or at least warm
p20e8 reductant pressure too low, so this is what is causing pressure low, no wonder
Could be this, could be faulty pump.. Once I had low pressure fault when AdBlue level was very low..
As much as I love my car - I hate this AdBlue system!

Hey brother can you remember 4 years back once that clamp with the 4mm allen is loosened how do you seperate the injector from the tank?
I took the screw out and can wiggle it but the clamp is still holding the injector.
Is the clamp loose? Can you move it?
I know it can get sticky with high temperatures.
