Audi A6 / RS6 AdBlue problems and delete
An "AdBlue system fault" on an A6 leaves you two ways forward, a dealer or SCR specialist repair at the dealer's price, or our £330 + VAT delete. We charge £100 + VAT to find the failed part first, at your home or workplace.
Your options for the A6
| AdBlue delete | Dealer or SCR specialist repair | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £330 + VAT | Dealer quote; not a service we offer |
| Where | Home, work or wherever the A6 is parked | An Audi dealer or SCR specialist |
AdBlue only applies to diesel A6 models, so send the registration and we'll confirm yours has the system before quoting.
What an AdBlue delete changes on the A6
On an A6 with AdBlue, the delete removes dosing and SCR monitoring from the ECU's job list. The "AdBlue system fault" message, the warning light and any countdown stop, the codes are cleared and there's no more fluid to buy.
Is it worth it on an A6?
The delete is a fixed £330 + VAT against an open-ended dealer bill for pumps, heaters or sensors.
If you'd rather keep the system and repair it, book diagnostics first and take the result to the dealer.
AdBlue delete or a dealer repair on the A6?
A dealer or specialist repair keeps the factory system working, while the delete is a fixed price. Diagnostics first shows which part has failed and what each route would cost.
Is an A6 AdBlue delete legal?
It's legal for off-road and export use only. On an A6 used on UK roads, removing AdBlue is illegal, as our guide to whether an AdBlue delete is legal explains.
What does the £330 + VAT cover on an A6?
The call-out, a code read, AdBlue switched off in the ECU and the stored faults cleared, with a final check of the dash together.
Will the delete stop the A6 countdown?
It will. The countdown goes along with the AdBlue system fault message once the system is switched off.
