£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 Bedworth

  1. Do not start the engine. The dosing pump runs on many vehicles as soon as the system is awake.
  2. If it is already running, switch it off now rather than driving to a garage.
  3. Do not top it up with AdBlue to dilute it. Dilution does not undo hydrocarbon contamination of the pump and lines.
  4. Call 01295 380724 and say how much diesel went in and whether the engine has run since.

Diesel in the AdBlue tank in Bedworth — what is different locally

Around Bedworth the vehicle is as likely to be on a forecourt or a verge as on a driveway, so the first question on the call is whether it is in a safe position to be worked on where it stands.

From Bedworth the main-dealer options are limited by marque rather than by distance, so it is worth establishing on the call whether a reset is even needed. HGV traffic through Bedworth changes the arithmetic — tank volumes an order of magnitude larger, disposal costs to match, and a loaded trailer that cannot simply be left.

Where a vehicle is on contract or on a job, the cheapest outcome is almost always the one that avoids a recovery movement, even if the roadside work costs more per hour. Because Warwickshire sees sustained cold, the first thing to establish on a level warning in January is whether the fluid has simply not thawed yet.

The geography affects arrival time and disposal, not the outcome; that is decided by the contamination direction and whether the engine was run. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Warwickshire on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions

Can this be finished at the roadside in Bedworth?

Do you cover the area around Bedworth as well?

Yes. Cover runs across Warwickshire on the same terms, from the same call-out fee, and the job is priced identically wherever in the county it is.

Is this just a drain like AdBlue in the diesel tank?

No, and anyone who tells you it is has not looked at the system. That direction is a fuel-side drain. This one is hydrocarbon contamination of a precision dosing circuit, and it frequently needs component work.
