AdBlue is a crucial fluid used in many modern diesel vehicles to reduce harmful emissions and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. However, despite its benefits, one common issue that drivers face is AdBlue crystallisation. Left unchecked, this can lead to costly repairs and reduced vehicle performance. But what exactly is AdBlue crystallisation and how can Wynn’s Crystal Clean & Protect help prevent it? 

 

What is AdBlue Crystallisation? 

AdBlue is a mixture of deionised water and urea, injected into the exhaust system of diesel engines to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. While AdBlue is safe and effective, under certain conditions, the urea can begin to crystallise. This happens when small amounts of AdBlue leak or evaporate, leaving behind urea deposits. Over time, these deposits harden and form crystals, often clogging injector nozzles or other parts of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. 

 

The Problem with Crystallisation 

Crystallisation can cause various issues for diesel vehicles: 

  • Clogged Injectors – The most common problem is that crystallisation can block the AdBlue injectors, causing them to malfunction or stop working altogether.  
  • Increased Emissions – With clogged injectors, the SCR system fails to perform its job effectively, leading to higher NOx emissions, which could cause your vehicle to fail emissions tests.  
  • Reduced Engine Performance – When the AdBlue system is not functioning correctly, the engine’s overall performance may suffer, often resulting in decreased fuel efficiency and power.  
  • Dashboard Warnings – Crystallisation can trigger dashboard warning lights, alerting the driver that there is a problem with the SCR or emissions system. 

 

 

How Wynn’s Crystal Clean & Protect Can Help 

The good news is that Wynn’s Crystal Clean & Protect is specifically designed to tackle the issue of AdBlue crystallisation. This innovative additive helps:
