How To Clean Blocked Adblue Injector / Repair

Adblue Injector removal and cleaning to clear blocked hole

[@horacesawyer2487]

A great job. Like how you ran the Wynn's DPF cleaner straight into it to help eliminate the crystal debris, plus it just helps clean the thing. Going the extra mile. Hope the customers appreciate you. : )

[@oladapoaloba]

Hey Jimmy you should start an online mechanic school man 😀 absolutely brilliant vid.......good work thanks for sharing 👍

[@timmaher4541]

Good thing to use is 3RG brand "Stop Crystal" as it prevents the adblue system from crystallizing and cleans and keeps injector clean and also cleans any crystals from within scr catalyst. 25ml is added to 10L of adblue. We use this in our peugeot workshop and prevents the issues

[@Davoodoox1]

Provide a link. The world needs this.

I like to just delete it from the system then no problems ever again

Great video. My local garage charged me a wack for doing this, with prospects of a new pump if it didn't work out!

[@bordersw1239]

The whole system should be serviceable, hot water dissolves urea crystals. Manufacturers should make a way to drain the tank, add hot water and then let it pass through the injector. The whole process would take about 40 mins, or less if part of a general service. Just had my tank replaced (Citroen GP). I noticed the injector was blocked and possibly caused this issue with the tank. I’ve now bought adblue additive to prevent crystals forming - if it work!

[@corfreaky]

can you send a link to what this adblue additive looks like... i have never seen it before at autozone

[@simontist]

I wonder if you could just fill the tank with water and manually run the injector somehow to flush it though

I have a Renault trafic 1.6, 145hp 2017. The dashboard Adblue light is on. I try to refill but it only allows me to put about 200ml inside before it's full. After some online research, I bought a bottle of Wynns anti crystal liquid and poured 250ml inside. I've left this for 2 days, but the Adblue tank still seems to be blocked. I used an Endoscope and looked inside the filler tube, no crystals seen. However I can see a plastic cap that looks like it its sealed off the main adblue tank (not sure if there's a side vent where to Adblue enters the tank). Any suggestions would be most welcome. I'm worried the CPU will shut off the engine soon. Ps I'm no mechanic, just a hands-on, DIY dude. Thanks in advance

[@selfbuiltcampervans]

jimmy just checked mone and it was like that . how much dpf cleaning fluid Did you put in? also how do I generate dpf if no diagnostic machine. can I get up to temp and hold revs at 3k? BTW I had no faults coming up b4 cleaning it

Is there a gasket between the injector and exhaust?

If the injector is blocked will the van still run ok until cleaned out?

[@m3baller675]

So you don't have to drain the DEF tank first to service the injector?

[@sicks6six]

I don't use AdBlue and won't buy a car that needs it after watching one of your videos, since I saw that video when I went in the garage to pay for my fuel I looked at the AdBlue stacked up like Mt Everest baking in the sun and I could see crystals around the filler neck and the bottles were bloated so much they looked like they might explode, the pressure inside must be so great that the AdBlue is leaking out and drying on the outside of plastic bottles, I'm getting the impression that if garages buy huge amounts of AdBlue at one go they must get big discounts on it but they don't sell it fast enough to rotate the stock quick enough,

[@saren6538]

What is the cleaning fluid ?

[@martinroberts3977]

I'm buying one of these and Just doing my research, DPF Systems I'm familiar with but they ADBlue Business I'm totally new on. From all the videos I've watched it seems the DPF System EGR System and Adblue all work together, I have a way of doing a manual DPF clean on any vehicle Which hopefully should clean the DPF and Clear this Blockage too. But failing that I wouldn't mind on my service routine cleaning out this Injector too for the sake of an hours hard graft.

[@aidand9208]

Hi great video thanks for posting. I have a problem with a 2016 ford transit fault code P204F indicating a problem with the Add blue system. Have you come across it? Aidan

[@ORileysAutos]

Causes for this code may include: Defective reductant pressure sensor Faulty reductant system injector Incorrect or otherwise inadequate DEF Open or shorted circuits in the reductant system Bad SCR controller/PCM or programming error

[@nevets5891]

SCRs do not get blocked with soot. There is no need to put DPF cleaner in them (because they are not DPFs). The DPF is the top section that comes down from the turbo and stops above the adblue injector.

[@gabbar5758]

Any advice have a merc 250d glc done 37k full service and getting a P2BA900 error adblue quality is to low. Had it into a local garage he has cleaned the adblue sensor as per this video (it was fairly clean anyway) however he can't delete the code. He said it might need a software update and needs to go to the dealers.

[@ORileysAutos]

He hasn't got up to date scan tool. I use Launch Euro Tab 3

[@madds6678]

First check is are you using good quality adblue to Mercedes specs ? If so that usually indicates a Nox sensor issue the sensors are known to go bad & get contaminated with fuel additives plus water sitting in the exhaust system damages them, the later nox sensors have been upgraded & need a different code added then scn coded not a cheap repair as both require replacement if upgrading & are hundreds of pounds each. You might get away with a downstream old generation sensor still expensive though. Also there maybe a software update available which might cure the fault so take it to your local main dealership or a independent who has access to factory software updates

[@alangilbert2461]

Good honest work wish you was up in Yorkshire you could do a few jobs for me.

[@ORileysAutos]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@TommyTauWau]

Will this cause the P20E8 fault and if it is the pump is it already too late to clean the injector. First time I've ever had an issue with a Peugeot diesel and I've owned loads. This will be the last one I own though after discovering the issues surrounding this fault

Same with all diesels with a def

[@DeeJayTaireN]

What code did you have to fix ? I had a p2047 pop up once but before that had the reductant level sensor pop up said circuit or performance issue thought it was the ultra sonic sensor in the tank maybe dirty but now thinking it is this injector have a 19 merc sprinter in canada 🇨🇦

[@lauragoulartpinheiro]

@@ORileysAutos Thank you! My van’s adblue injector broke and it slowly started to loose power after the dashboard engine and glow plug lights went on, they keep flashing together, like a limp mode. I would try to accelerate and it wouldn’t go past 20/30km. Then it got to a point to be so slow and not moving at all and finally it wasn’t starting anymore. I bought a new genuine adblue injector and installed it but the car still won’t start and won’t read that it has been fixed. I also bought a new battery so definitely not that either. So I am not sure what’s happening at this point am I stuck on a dead limp mode car as it’s not reading the repair or would it be something else? This is the current codes that were all displayed after the adblue injector broke. Thank you so much for your help!

If you unplug ALL batteries the code will clear itself if not a permanent code which goes away after 100miles or ten days whichever is sooner
