DEF/add blue has a short shelf life. They make the tank small so it is freshened regularly. It will crystallize.

[@coobyraccoon]

Stoked for the Gemini build. I restored a TD wagon for my girlfriend when I was 20 back in the 90s. She's now my wife. Moral of the story. Gemini equal love.

[@MrBadgas]

We had a TDI Golf here in California. It was also part of the recall. The AddBlue tank was big enough that you basically refilled it when we did an oil change. (We do 5kMi oil changes by choice). Worked perfectly. After the recall fix, the car used more blue juice so we watched for the warning light. Worked fine. Eazy. That said, we sold our TDI and my Audi S5 to get a tesla. No more dino juice. Except for my motorcycle.

[@RandomActsofGibberish]

Welcome back, Marty. Mate, I was a Cortina and Escort guy back in the day. Always dissed on the Bomini's and their drivers. Just ordered the poster. It'll be the only Gem I'll ever consider owning, haha. Love your work, but I am seriously running out of space on my walls!

[@ebeneezergd]

Ad Blue nozzles are locked because they are high pressure / flow rate fillers for trucks. AdBlue for cars more often comes in bottles a bit like washer fluid.

[@jaredanderson88]

I drove around Italy for 3 weeks last year and found this video very relatable 😂 Hired a Fiat Tipo Diesel Station wagon, nearly ran out of AdBlue which was a mission to get it filled and I also went to the Ferrari Museum in Modena. Now wait 12 months for ZTL fines 😂

The problem with DEF or urea blue in a large tank is the more it is exposed to air the more crystalline structures grow. The only way to prevent this from clogging or reducing the capacity of the tank is to keep it small.

[@StormHawksHD]

Surely Baffling could fix this issue?

[@autobootpiloot]

We have a 3500 liter def tank on our ship. The size of the tank is not the problem, it’s mainly the quality of the urea that gives us malfunctions. Sometimes we don’t have a problem for weeks and sometimes a batch or urea gives us problems every day until it’s gone. We usually fill up 2000 liters once a month. We make sure to never run empty. Thankfully malfunctions don’t have any effect on the engine itself. Else we would have a major problem and would the system be gone within a day.

[@NTromb]

Furthermore it kills a lot of winged insects and causes a lot of health Issues with animals with weaker respiratory systems

[@liamjohnson8497]

That's just what big fuela has lead you to believe

[@ShieldAgent75]

Work has a new VW Crafter van that uses AdBlue. The size of the tank is 18L, there is a display menu option that shows AdBlue range. It starts at 8500km and displays a warning when you have less than a couple of hundred km left giving you plenty of notice. AdBlue in Oz is around $2.00 / L so a 10L bottle for €50 is pretty steep.

[@scottyb069]

I'll never forget one of my fellow apprentices back in the 90's, Dragi Panovski, who had a Gemini with a 15 inch sub mounted behind the back set covered in acoustically transparent foam and re-upholstered, this was back when Strathfield car radio was a shop in Strathfield. He showed it off to me with his poxy House music, and I tried it with my new Metallica CD, nearly shook the car to pieces, those were the days.

[@twentysevenlitres]

Lancia Epsilon (y) is their little car. My cousin and I hired one in Italy too. Little buzz bomb manual, flat out at 130kmh, radio (not fitted) was an optional extra. We referred to it as the Lancia "why"!

[@MrPatDr]

[@Blasterxp]

Yes, this!!

[@Oz_Rebuilds]

Poster ordered!!! Good to see you back and cant wait for that Gemini Episode!!!

[@KuroRyuu86]

Adblue is definitely a thing in Australia guys. It's being around for about 5-6yrs +. Mainly for Euro Trucks. But it has trickled down to Euro cars available in Aust. It used to be VERY cheap for us. $10 for 10L. With Virus situation and the demand from New Euro cars, the price jumped up to almost Unleaded fuel price.

[@rc70ys]

I drove in my Gemini coupe delivering Domino’s Pizza in the 90s in Sydney’s West (30mins or it’s free). She was a Gold TC I named her “Bad Gem”. 😂 .

[@manuelvatos-zs9pn]

guys, you guys are brilliant, lately i have been watching a couple of your episodes, interesting very i mean very my head was glued to my computer, the car theme and the freind ship you guys bring is unbelievable, malaysia was a great episode it brought tears to my eyes im a car fanatic just like you guys guys sorry to cut it short keep up the good work

[@TibCib3]

Didnt know i needed to hear Marty say "Hawk Tuah"

[@insanelewis21]

Hi, from UK.. I had a 2022 VW transporter kombi, that had an 80 litre add blue tank. The ad blue and DPF constantly regenerating is the reason I sold it.

[@brotang2953]

When I was 16-18 I had a 78 Gemini coupe, the memories I had in that car with the boys back in the day, did all the standard teenage dirtbag mods, straight piped it, pulled all the springs out then cut the bump stops in half, ripped the carpets out after they got filled up with rtd's, vomit and bong smoke. I'd love to find another one one day and do it properly so I'm itching to see your guys one and how ya go about it in your vision.

[@johntroychaisson8813]

Missed you last episode bro good to have you back…

[@mmavcanuck]

What do you mean? He was just quiet.

[@neilrobson2191]

In my experience, back in the day 1980's Michelin made a tyre called XAS. I had a number of Honda S800's & the XAS was more grippy when it was at its minimum depth than when fully treaded. Big fan of Michelin still to this day

[@JP_A3]

if you buy a modern diesel you do theses 3 steps: DPF delete, EGR delete and Adblue delete, now you have a reliable diesel that wont be chocking on its own shit. Ive seen intake manifolds which are have so much carbon build up the engine might as well be breathing through a straw.

[@Tube4TTT]

21 Audi Q5 tdi. Service 12 months or 15,000kms and never have to top up adblue in between. And yea bought for economy on long drives. Brisbane to Sydney a number of times (940km) and still had just over 1/4 tank. Estimate range is 1200 on those drives on the 65L tank

[@AnInvalidURL]

Wishing I had my old TE back in my hands. So many memories.

Glad you are a real Marty, not a puppet 😂 Just want to say, my husband is from NSW and he has trouble with the word "specific". Now he's decided that he will start using the word "particular" instead... Hee hee. Thanks! By the way, great exit at the end of this episode! Love you both. ❤

[@JettaJack]

In the US, many shops require that you change all 4 tires at once, because “it’s all wheel drive”. If you damage one, there goes the other three. I have had a real struggle changing only two tires at a time.

[@TBustah]

We got these in America as well, sold through Buick dealerships. Buick dealers were also selling some Opels at the time (like the Kadett and GT), so it got saddled with the bizarre and self-defeating rebadged name, Opel by Isuzu (later changed to Buick Opel, and then Isuzu I-Mark). My grandmother may or may not have owned one, there’s some debate in the family.

[@vinnywelsh]

I'm happy to see that Moog kept all of his crazy bottled up for when Marty returned.

[@kevincross9206]

Funny you should talk about Adblue. I brought a van in November’22, and it had 82% level of Adblue, 17 months later, still has 82% 🤷🏼‍♂️ Admittedly I don’t do a lot of mileage, but expected to use a lot more than that! 🤣

[@maccarioandrea]

Ad blue comes in bottles for cars, you buy it inside the servo. The one you used is for trucks

[@Jakanddaxter1999]

I wonder if pissing in an AdBlue tank would work lol

[@BigWillba]

It does lol

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

No it doesn’t. At least on modern ones, they have a quality sensor, probably because people used to try that, and it will shut you down if the quality is too low (or if the sensor fails, which they do).

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

Used to work (say- 10- 12 year old vehicles), also water would work. Now they have pH sensors, specific gravity sensors etc

[@HUNTINGNT375]

That’s awesome. I’ve been waiting for this since you got it from Japan. I’ve been writing this in comments for couple of years. It feels like.

[@oskar6661]

The whole selling point of VW diesels in the U.S. (back before the nonsense scandal) was insane reliability, range up to and exceeding double that of similar petrol cars, and significantly more torque per size of motor. The rarity also meant that your value stayed extremely high if you were one of the few people who owned a VW TDI vehicle. Now the benefits may be less in Europe, particularly when they sell a load more small-displacement ICE motors with solid fuel mileage...but in the U.S., a normal Passat would do 360-420 miles per tank of fuel with a 1.8T, and the 1.9TDI model would do up to 700 miles.

[@JettaJack]

Yes, 700 miles. And with a 500 mile weekly commute, I bought a used 06 Jetta TDI in 07 and filled it only once a week. Still have that car.❤

[@autobootpiloot]

Benefits used to be similar in Europe. The Passat was a popular car here too and with the same engines available. These days petrol cars have become much more efficient and diesels not so much. They are cleaner but not more efficient so a large benefit is gone. And now diesel reliability is garbage because of the exhaust treatment system. Those always go bad and leave you stranded. Petrol engines are way less reliable than diesels but don’t have those after treatments so all in you have a more reliable vehicle. Still, if you want a reliable vehicle you’re better off buying a old vehicle and spend a few thousand to rebuild suspension and some critical components. Old stuff is more reliable even when it’s old. That’s just crazy.

[@mediocreman2]

Nobody thinks insane reliability is a VW trait, regardless of engine. My Audi gasoline engine has been more reliable than my VW diesel. And the US never got the smaller TDI that had even better efficiency. And range is not as useful of a metric as miles per gallon. I get 600 miles range from my BMW diesel, but that's only at 27 MPG.

[@autobootpiloot]

@@mediocreman2 the 1.9tdi was a very good engine with extreme reliability. Those engine are however over 20 years ago and since about 2005 they have not made a lot of good engine series. Some diesels are still ok though.

[@ChristopherHallett]

The scandal wasn't nonsense, VW did a bunch of shit that means that thanks to noxious emissions from their vehicles being much higher than they claimed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world will likely develop cancers that they otherwise wouldn't have.

[@darcymckenna7858]

hey guys, trailer is mad !! Ive recently learnt the art of TIG welding and im loving it. Also,, on the adblue thing for Marty I had to do it once before on my diesel van such a pain in the a** . idk about other states but in vic we have it in big containers like coolant at the servo for AdBlue.

[@jcmartinez7527]

In the USA, we call “ad blue” diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) on diesel cars and trucks too. When the DEF is low on my Ford F250, it limits the speed to 50mph. If it fully runs out, it will slow to 5mph. There are DEF deletes, but they have been outlawed.

[@mediocre_moto]

I live in a regional Victorian town, there's an old pizza shop in the area that STILL use an old Gemini coupe to deliver their pizzas!

[@jasony2k-ef4tk]

Wish you two lads did the news every day. thanks love this channel.

[@pauladams4890]

Nearly every big truck in Australia has adblue…. The tanks are smaller because usage is minimal. Eg a semi has 900L diesel capacity, & only 60L of adblue. You’ll refill adblue every 3 to 4 full tanks used… same with passenger vehicles…. But the issue is, there isn’t a constant supply of adblue…it can be weeks between deliveries to servos. In a truck it won’t stop you, just limit your speed to 40kph

[@CoreyHunter-Gemracing]

Man I can’t wait to see this gemini build complete! 💪🏽

[@aaroncunneen328]

The gemmy.. can't wait to see how it turns out. Marty's face when the stink hits 😂

[@Thebeardedapostle]

Just ordered my poster and cannot wait! Keep on keeping on fellas 😎

[@Mr_Min]

Re:AdBlue, yes it is a conspiracy theory. Reality is it was hard to package a big tank, the idea was the vehicle should be able to travel at least the service interval on a one tank full of AdBlu, and the dealer/service organisation would top it up. It also has to have heater to stop it freezing. Works well on trucks.. Passenger cars less so..

[@FuManchu5ltr]

On the German car channel Sourkrauts, they featured a fricken sick Gemini. Opel Kadet or something over there? Worth checking out how the whole world loves these cars in one form or another.

[@Perenlikker]

[@Vtorious123]

I have a 2023 toureg I get 1200km per litre for add blue. It has a 20ltr tank. I'm from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Vtorious123]

I also pay $1 a ltr

[@louiswilliamhicks]

@MCM TV2 If you fill 10L of add blue, depending on a lot of factors it can cover up to about 10k miles, but adblue ages and can crust up the adblue injector after a couple of years if unused and will then cause your DPF to be improperly cleaned and block up. It generally has a shelf life of two years. I have a Land Rover and it has a 'miles to empty' readout for adblue, like for fuel. I recently put 5L in and it indicated an increase in range of about 6k miles, but it also depends of the kind of driving you do, because short journeys will produce more soot and mean that regens are required more often relative to the miles travelled. My car has been fine thankfully, but I am mindful of how I drive to make sure the system has the chance to clean. The big scandal right now is the diesel oil dilution issues that have been causing engine failure in European cars. A police officer in the UK was even killed when his BMW had suffered higher than expected oil dilution due to excessive idling and the engine failed and caused a fire at high speed.

[@elcasho]

Most cars do say how long range there is when the adblue gets low and a tank usually last the service interval of the car, so the place that your car usually fills it up when the car is serviced

that green(ish) gemini looks like the UK Vauxhall Chevette (from the mid-late 70s) 4 door saloon. no idea if theyre basically the same car, as often happens, but they certainly look alike.

[@HulluJanne]

One older man once told me a story. He had recently bought a new Peugeot 607 HDI and one day when he parked the car, he could hear a constant buzzing that sounded like a pump. He then took the car to the dealer to be checked and no one knew what was going on. I didn't ask him if the pump would run indefinitely or what. I don't remember exactly if the car was "in service" for like weeks or even more, but not even the official brand importer could help with the matter at first. Turned out there was a tank under the rear seat and it had run out of liquid (or there was something else wrong). Nowhere in the manual was there any mention of the tank and it took forever to even get the information that it exists. Don't know if there was some sort of bug that used up the liquid faster than it should've, or a leak or what. I've read that it's some PSA specific(?) EOLYS -liquid that is only used for the DPF regeneration and should last for like 80 000 km. Seems to be about 50-90€ per liter!

[@16BitOG]

I love how real Moog was about the giveaway. "You could just sell it".

[@b3nny90]

Super keen for the gemini. I had a TG sedan for years that was like my prized possession. I had to sell it to move states and could never afford to buy it back or one like it until recently but now they are too much money for rusted buckets. But I'm keen to get my hands on one again.

Two of our Volkswagen crafters at work have adblue both 2021s normally get about 9000kms to a tank (about 20litres).my annoyance with it is. If you run it low enough you have to put in a minimum amount to clear the no start warning not just dump in a couple litres to get you to a place to refill.

I drive a Passat diesel with AdBlue in Europe. 13 liters tank will last me for more than 10.000 km. Price of AdBlue is 1.5 Eur/l. The car will show me approx. how many km I can do with the remaining AdBlue. Honestly you don't really think about it and it is cheap. I can still do 1500 km after I get the first warning. Just fill it twice a year and forget about it.

[@real2gone]

[@CRACKT_AUTOMOTIVE]

i live in melbourne but have family up in europe and ever since i can remember since i go over seas every 3-4 years they tend to not let you fill up you car on your own in certain countries and ad-blue is one of those things they dont want you filling up yourself for some reason, so yes over in EU they do have servo workers that would stand around the pumps all day and get paid to fill up your car for you :)

Just happened to me recently. My tyres had heaps of tread on them and nowhere near the tread markers(though they said the outer tread is very close to the bare minimum 1.5mm), Yet I was told I needed new tyres to get my car registered. Luckily, I had four extra wheels with tyres on them that weren’t that great so I stuck them on the car. They put new tyres on those wheels. Got Home pull the new tyres off and put back the other tyres!!. 😊
