countryman Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have been looking at one of these for a while, I am going to look at an 18 plate one, the one thing that has stopped me from just buying one is this adblue, we had a terrible experience with a Mercedes ml that had it, has any one got a Landcruiser with adblue and have you had problems with it or the DPF. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ML went into count down mode because it needed adblue, I put the stuff in and it would not register that it had been done so still on count down to shut the engine down. I had to go to a Mercedes specialist to put it on there diagnostics machine, I think there called Knox sensors or something like that had failed, apparently it’s something Mercedes are aware of but are doing nothing about, the bill was around £1200. The guy at the garage said they are really nice cars ruined by adblue problems. On another note I never got the Landcruiser , that had the adblue which I knew about but it all so has a DPF as well, to much for me.

Oh dear, good luck with your search 👍 Better keep my adblue topped up then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
