£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 Upton-upon-Severn

  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.
