AdBlue/DEF etc

[countman88]

I have never owned a diesel vehicle.
Was talking to a friend about the probability that my next car, to replace my PA Challenger, would probably be either a PC Challenger or a 2 or 3 year old Pajero Sport.
We discussed the plus/minus aspects of a diesel compared to petrol.
He mentioned that either or both of those two may need the compulsory diesel additive.

Have done a search and can't find much about it.

Is it required in either the PC or the PS?


Thanks

The PC does not use adblue.
It is also NOT a diesel additive. At no point is it mixed or added to diesel.
It is injected into the exhaust.

Yes, I understand it has a separate tank.

There is no extra tank!
Pajero, Challenger or Pajero sport don't use AdBlue

Thanks Keithyv
I understand that cars that need it have an extra tank, just asking about whether
the pc or ps have it

Neither Challenger or Pajero Sport use AdBlue (Selective Catalytic Reduction - SCR) technology.

Hi Ken, The Euro 5/6 emission standards require manufacturers to reduce diesel exhaust emissions so European cars are definitely leading the way. Some more reading in this article https://practicalmotoring.com.au/4x4...reduction-scr/
