AdBlue
SPECIALIST IN ADBLUE DIAGNOSTICS
What is AdBlue Crystallisation?
These problems, (along with EGR & DPF issues) can be very troublesome and expensive to fix. The crystallisation issue is a growing problem and cold weather will only lead to more issues.
Crystallisation in the AdBlue system happens when the exhaust gases are not hot enough to react properly with AdBlue. The AdBlue does not completely turn into ammonia.
When this happens, cyanuric crystals can form which can contaminate the system and block the AdBlue injector, eventually affecting the running of the vehicle.
Comon faults include:
- AdBlue contamination: Contaminated AdBlue can cause the AdBlue system to malfunction.
- AdBlue tank sensor issue: The sensor may not be working properly, causing the system to think the tank is empty when it’s full.
- AdBlue freezing: AdBlue can freeze and expand, damaging the system.
- AdBlue quality: Using the wrong quality AdBlue can cause problems. It’s important to use AdBlue that matches your engine’s specifications.
- AdBlue pump failure: Misuse of the system can cause the dosing modules and injectors to fail prematurely.
- AdBlue run out: If the AdBlue runs out, you won’t be able to restart the car until the levels are restored.
- Catalytic converter damage: Using cheap AdBlue can damage the catalytic converter, which can be expensive to repair or replace.
Book your car in for a AdBlue Diagnostics by calling our workshop in Reading on 0118 967 7777. We cover the whole of the Berkshire area.

I had a DPF delete done by Powerx and the whole experience was excellent. The team was very professional from start to finish, the work was completed in the time they promised, and communication was spot on. If there were any issues or updates, they called straight away to keep me informed. Overall, a top-quality service — easily the best in Reading. Highly recommended.

I found PowerX online after I had a warning message come up in my dashboard saying my exhaust filter was full and to take my vehicle to the dealership. . I have a 2litre 2017 RR evoke.
I called PowerX and spoke to Richard who was really helpful and gave me the options available to me along with costings. I decided to book the vehicle in as soon as they had availability and I can honestly say the service from start to finish has been outstanding. I collected my vehicle after approx 4hrs, paid exactly what was quoted, no last minute extra’s and drove away with complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for an honest trustworthy business I would not hesitate on recomending Power X - thank you very much!

Sorted my disaster of a car out for me! Always told how much it will cost you before you start and it's professionally run. Without sounding negative, I hope I don't have to use them again, but should anything go wrong with any of my cars now or in the future, I can be confident that they will give me an honest appraisal of what the problem is and be able to resolve it. It's a specialist service and if you need it, which I did, I don't think there's anywhere better locally that you could go to.

I recently get my DPF cleaned that was filled with ash. After 162k miles the DPF didn’t had much shoot as it was mostly on long drive and been regen regularly. However ash doesn’t go away without this process. When the DPF is half full with ash its regen cycle gap shorten significantly. Only option is an industrial clean like this.
I took my DPF only to them and get it cleaned while wait for a reasonable cost. Fantastic.

Great guys, saw us quickly and advised the cheaper option when offered the choice. Also bumped up the power output and torque, which was lost on my better half but I appreciated it.

Returning customer with different car. Years
Ago had a DPF “adjustment” and remap on an Audi a4 tdi. It breathed life and responsiveness and more hsprs into it. So happy was I that I looked no further when wanting a performance remap on my VW Passat. Instantly happy with result lag has reduced significantly which was obvious first time I pulled away. Boost in power feels significant and delivered in a much smoother curve. Could not be happier. Fair price, lovely chaps. Thanks again. Highly recommended

Had a warning on my dash about Particle filter additive level low...and was told by my local garage that they couldn't book me in until after bank holiday. Called CMS they was able to give me a quote and book me in an hour later. An hour or so later I was picking up my fixed car, given advice and also paid less than was quoted. Great customer service definitely recommend
