Default AdBlue Distance or Consumption

Does anyone know how far you can travel on a fillup of the AdBlue? Or can you tell me how much AdBlue is consumed for every gallon of diesel fuel?

We are planning a trip from Atlanta to Seattle and back. I don't want to have to stop along the way and wait for some Stealer's service department to fill up and re-adapt the system.

According to Audi's AdBlue brochure, expect to get about 10,000 miles on a tank of AdBlue.

Thanks. I see that your link is only pp2-3 of a multipage document. Do you have a link to the complete document?

Dutch, the benchmark had been 2 - 4% of fuel consumed.

I guess they've fitted a storage tank that will permit the vehicle to travel the equivalent of one oil change/service interval before it needs re-filling.

Thanks. I found another reference that says consumption is 1.6 ml/mile.

The thing that sticks in my craw is the fact that only a dealer can completely refill and reset the computer.

Yeah, I think any of us DIYers are going to be forced to purchase the RossTech cable so we can handle the most basic maintenance reminder resets

Then, of course, there is the matter of where to obtain the juice.
