AdBlue level sensor fault Caterham — the severity verdict
| Severity | Likely recoverable Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. |
|---|---|

£89 is the call-out. An AdBlue tank drain and flush is quoted on the phone before a technician travels. If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.
What to do right now in Caterham
- Note the discrepancy precisely — what the gauge says against what you actually put in.
- Do not keep adding fluid to make the gauge move. An overfill is its own problem.

AdBlue level sensor fault in Caterham — what is different locally
Caterham covers a wide catchment in Surrey, and a good share of calls come from the A-road network rather than from home addresses, which changes how quickly a van can be positioned safely.
Dealer coverage across Surrey is thinner than the map suggests once you need a specific marque, and a wasted recovery to the wrong workshop is an expensive way to find that out. Agricultural and plant work across Surrey brings bulk AdBlue storage into it, and bulk storage is where contamination and out-of-spec fluid problems usually start.
The cost split is simple and it is stated up front: the call-out, the drain and flush, and separately anything the SCR system itself needs. Cold mornings in Surrey produce a run of calls that turn out to be nothing more than fluid below −11 °C in a tank that has not yet warmed, and telling that apart from a real fault saves a wasted visit.
Location changes the logistics of this job and nothing else about it — the severity is set by what went into which tank. Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. Coverage runs across Surrey on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

No. The From just £89 call-out fee is the same across Surrey, and the job total is quoted on the phone before a technician travels rather than adjusted on arrival.
Will the countdown still run with a faulty sensor?
