Ad blue consumption

[RonnieM]

Hello, The add blue warning has come up on my Berlingo car with 3500 miles on the clock this seems quite soon compared to our 66 plate van, it does around 10,000 - 12,000 before it needs topping up.
Is the newer Berlingo 1.5 heavier on add blue that the 1.6 ? or is there something wrong with the car.
Thanks, Ronnie.

When you say '3500 on the clock' is that from new? If so then I fancy the Adblue tank wasn't fully topped up when you bought it.

Yes the car was new, I was hoping the same, that the tank wasn't full when I got it.

I would think the manufacturers only put the bare minimum in the tank as opposed to the 15 litres(?) that it holds which over a big production run could save them a fair bit of money. What was the warning message that came up?
