The fault
How you spot it
In the Euro 6 diesel Tourans from 2016 two parts of the SCR (AdBlue) system typically fail: the tank level sensor (when the dash reads 0.0 mm or an empty tank with a full tank), and the tank heater, which gives up in winter. Both lead to the same place: the car starts a countdown, and at the end of the countdown it will not start. This is not a fault you can postpone, because the system shuts down under legal compulsion, and the tank is replaced from under the floor.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
