Fig . 185 Ad Blue filler tube: inse rting the refill bottle
The AdBlue fi ller tube is located near the die­
sel filler tube . Always add 1.5 gallons (5. 7 lit­
ers) of AdBlue (three bottles). This is the mini­
mum amount required to ensure the system
detects the refilling and to start the eng ine.
The AdBlue tank capacity is approximately
4 .5 gal lons (17 liters).

AdBlue
Requirement : The request to add Ad Blue must
appear in the instrument cluster display.

• Open the tank cover
¢page 218.
• Turn the cap counterclockw ise with the lug
wrench from the vehicle tool kit to remove it
¢fig. 184.
• Remove the cap from the refill bottle.
• Position the refill bottle on the filler tube
and turn the bottle clockwise until it stops
turning
(D ¢ fig . 185.
• Press lightly against the bottom of the bot­
tle @to empty it. Continue pressing the
bottom of the bottle until it is empty or un­
til fluid stops flowing into the tank.
• Turn the bottle to the left without pressing
on the bottom .
Closing the filler tube
• Turn the cap clockwise on the filler tube
with the lug wrench until you hear it tighten
completely .
• Close the tank cover.
After filling
The vehicle must be driven. The system may
take up to two minutes to detect that the
AdBlue has been f illed.
• If there was no Ad Blue left in the tank and a
range of
O mi (0 km) was displayed in the
instrument cluster, switch the ignition on
for about 15 seconds before starting the en­ gine.
A WARNING
= Ad Blue can irritate the sk in, eyes and res-
piratory system. If there is contact with
the fluid, flush immediately with plenty of
water. Consult a physician if necessary.
(D Note
- Only use Ad Blue that conforms to the
standard ISO 22241-1. Do not mix any
additives with the AdBlue and do not d i­
lute it with water.
-A d Blue is not a diesel add itive . Do not
add it to the diesel tank. If Ad Blue is
m ixed with diesel fuel, it can lead to
damage to the engine and the AdBlue
tank system . The Limited New Vehicle
Warranty does not cover such damage.
- Ad Blue attacks surfaces such as painted
vehicle components, plastic and carpet.
Remove the fluid as quickly as possible
w ith a damp cloth and p lenty of cold wa­
ter. If the AdBlue has already crystal-
lized, use warm water and a sponge. .,..

AdBlue residue that is not removed will
crystallize and can damage the affected
surface.
- Do not store the refill bott le in the vehi­
cle.
If it leaks, the escaping Ad Blue could
damage the vehicle interior.
- Do not allow AdBlue to come into con­
tact with clothing. If there is contact
with the fluid, flush immediately with plenty of water.
(D Tips
- You can obtain refill bott les from any au­
thorized Audi dealer or other qualified
workshop.
- Follow the AdBlue manufacturer's in­
structions for usage and storage.
