Peugeot 308 AdBlue problems and delete
When a 308 shows "anti-pollution fault", we come to wherever the car is parked and find out what's behind it, usually within 60 to 90 minutes. Diagnostics cost £100 + VAT, and an AdBlue delete is £330 + VAT.
How a visit for your 308 works
Tell us what the screen says
Send the registration with the message word for word, whether that's "anti-pollution fault", "depollution system faulty" or an AdBlue warning.
Choose where we meet the car
Your driveway, the street outside or a work car park anywhere in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire or Huddersfield.
Codes and live data first
The technician plugs in, reads what the ECU has stored and checks the readings from the emissions parts.
Your options explained
You hear what has failed and what it costs to sort before any work goes ahead.
About the AdBlue delete
Peugeot often shows "anti-pollution fault" or "emission system fault" in place of an AdBlue light, but the same message can also come from the DPF, its additive or the EGR valve. The codes show which is to blame on any 308, including the 1.6 HDi.
If it's the DPF, our DPF cleaning is £275 + VAT. When AdBlue is the culprit, the delete switches it off and clears the countdown.
At home or at work
We need the 308, its keys and a safe spot where it can sit for an hour or so while we work. Any of these places will do.
- Your own driveway, or the road outside if there's room to work beside the car
- A works car park, once whoever runs it is happy for a technician to be on site
- A garage block or shared parking area, if that's where the car lives during the day
Why book SGR
A 308 visit fits round a working day because nothing has to be dropped off and most jobs are done in 60 to 90 minutes. Same-day appointments are often available when a warning has just come on, and our insurance covers the work to £2 million.
Reviews
Can you come out if the 308 won't restart?
Yes. A 308 that has reached zero on the countdown won't start again, so we come to where it stopped, as long as it's somewhere safe to work. Tell us the location when you book.
What do I need to have ready?
Just the car, its keys and the registration. If anyone else has already read the codes, send us what they found so we can bring the right information.
What should I tell you when booking the 308?
The exact wording on the dash, whether a countdown is showing and how many miles it has left. It also helps to know how the car is used.
Can you read the codes before deciding?
Yes, and that's where we'd start. A diagnostic check on the 308 costs £100 + VAT. Once we know the AdBlue system is the cause, the delete is offered for off-road and export use only, and our guide to whether an AdBlue delete is legal explains why.
