VW Caddy AdBlue problems and delete
Our AdBlue delete for the Caddy costs £330 + VAT and is carried out at your yard, site or home. The alternative is a dealer or SCR specialist repair, and a £100 + VAT diagnostic check shows which part has failed.
Your options for the Caddy
| AdBlue delete | Dealer or SCR specialist repair | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £330 + VAT | Dealer quote; not a service we offer |
| Where | Wherever the Caddy is parked | A VW dealer or SCR workshop |
A NOx sensor fault can look just like a pump or heater failure on the dash, which is why the codes come before any decision.
What an AdBlue delete changes on the Caddy
If your Caddy has AdBlue, the delete takes the SCR system out of the ECU's control. Dosing stops, the system is no longer monitored, and a failed NOx sensor or pump can't set off the warning light or a countdown again. The stored codes are cleared too.
Is it worth it on a Caddy?
The delete is a fixed £330 + VAT, set against the cost of new sensors or a pump.
If you'd rather keep the AdBlue system working, it has to be repaired. Our diagnostics tell you which part to order, and our NOx sensor guide explains the most common sensor faults.
AdBlue delete or a dealer repair for the Caddy?
The delete is usually the cheaper option, while the dealer repair keeps the AdBlue system working. A code read first shows what that repair would involve.
Is a Caddy AdBlue delete legal?
For off-road and export vans, yes. On a Caddy used on UK roads, no, and we won't carry it out. Our guide to whether an AdBlue delete is legal sets out the reasons.
What does the £330 + VAT cover on a Caddy?
Our visit, the code read, AdBlue switched off in the software and the SCR faults cleared, followed by a check of the dash with you.
Will the delete stop the Caddy countdown?
Yes. Once AdBlue is out of the ECU's hands, the countdown and the warning light both go.
