Fewer emissions with little effort
AdBlue® is an odourless urea solution. It reduces harmful nitrogen oxides in diesel vehicle emissions. What do you have to do? Simply refill AdBlue® after a few thousand kilometres.
- Economical:
A passenger vehicle requires 1.5–2.8 l AdBlue® per 1,000 km. The tank holds between 11 and 19 l – depending on model. - Easy to refill:
Inquire with your Volkswagen Partner. - Controllable consumption:
The consumption of AdBlue® depends hugely on your driving style. Drivers who hit the gas a little harder will have to refill more often.
Technology in the tank
Volkswagen models with AdBlue®
In addition to their low NOx emissions, AdBlue® models can be recognised by the separate filler necks. Depending on the model, this is located either next to the diesel filler neck, in the luggage compartment or the engine compartment – as a operating fluid, AdBlue® has to be filled separately.
Tips for refilling
Refill AdBlue®
Depending on your driving style and the model, your Volkswagen consumes an average of 1.5–2.8 l of AdBlue® per 1,000 km. A warning signal will indicate when it’s time to refill – both 2,400 km and 1,000 km in advance.

Volkswagen Genuine Coolant Additive G13
Maximum protection at maximum performance

At the same time, the innovative formulation protects against limescale, corrosion, and acids. Perfect – even for fully aluminium engines.

Temperature indicator in the warning zone?
Stop, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down. Check the coolant level. Only then is it safe to continue driving.
