When the AdBlue system fails, drivers are often faced with two options: spend money on repairs or choose an AdBlue delete. At STX Tuning in Slough, we speak to customers every week who have been shocked by the high cost of AdBlue repairs, especially when the same problem returns later.
This guide explains the difference between repairing the AdBlue system and removing it permanently, so you can make an informed decision.
The Cost of AdBlue Repairs
AdBlue systems include multiple components: tanks, pumps, injectors, heaters, and NOx sensors. Any of these can fail and trigger dashboard warnings or limp mode.
Typical dealer repair costs:
NOx sensor replacement – £400 to £800 per sensor
AdBlue pump replacement – £1,000+
Injector replacement – £500 to £700
Tank and heating element replacement – £1,500+
On vehicles like the Mercedes Sprinter, Audi Q5, BMW 5 Series, Ford Transit, Peugeot 3008, and Citroën Berlingo, it’s not uncommon for owners to face bills of £2,000 or more for AdBlue-related repairs.
The Risk with Repairs
Even after spending thousands, many owners find the same warning lights return within months. The complexity of the system means replacing one part doesn’t always solve the root cause.
The Cost of AdBlue Delete
Our AdBlue delete service is carried out electronically through the ECU. Instead of replacing failed parts, the AdBlue system is disabled in the software.
Benefits include:
Permanent guaranteed fix
No more AdBlue top-ups or warning lights
No need for future AdBlue repairs or sensor replacements
Lower long-term running costs
Available at our Slough workshop or through our mobile service across England
Which Option Should You Choose?
If your vehicle is under warranty and used daily on public roads → repair may be the right option.
If your vehicle is used off-road, in motorsport, agriculture, or for export → AdBlue delete offers a permanent and more cost-effective solution.
Important Information
AdBlue delete is an emissions modification. It is supplied strictly for off-road, motorsport, agricultural, or export use only, and is not legal for vehicles driven on UK roads.
