Shame on the EPA. There was a guy from Canada traveling through my town with his Ram 1500 with a travel trailer and he was on the side of the road with his truck because his eco diesel wouldn't run because of the Adblue/urea stuff was empty. Poor guy had no cell phone that worked and a family that thought their vacation was going to be ruined. I get that emissions are important. But the vehicle should still be able to run just fine at full power without Adblue. Just produce more emissions. Sigh. What exactly happens on Audi's? Can the vehicle still drive??
Understood and agree but it would be hard for the Adblue situation to sneak up on you- the car gives you visual cues when its running low, months and thousands of miles in advance. If you run out of Adblue in a Q7 you brought it on yourself by dismissing a dozen or more notifications and warnings.
