Hi there, I am new to the forum having moved from the other German site. I currently own mk1 TT and 2011 Q5 tdi. Just thought I'd say hello.

I had a similar issue on my wifes Seat Alhambra. its a 2015 and after pulling the adblue injector / out of the exhaust end, it was all caked up and crusted up. We fixed that and a few weeks later it done the same thing. Being a little bit older and not really "needing adblue" i spoke to a very knowledgeable mechanic or 2 and their advise was "get shot of it, just map it out and the car wont ever look for it again" so thats the option we went with. the car has been thru the NCT since then and there was absolutely no issue with emmisions tests etc

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

Hello Raymond, Worth inspecting the wiring in the flexible harness twixt the A post and where it enters the forward edge of the driver’s door - favourite place for wires to fracture particularly in cold weather. Hot summer’s day and things came back to life-? Fractured wires may have then been flexible enough to make some temporary contact across the fractures. Also worth checking the flexible section twixt tailgate/boot and the body. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on Raymond. Kind regards, Gareth.

I am trying to remove the cam cover bolts etc but my torx bits are poor quality so I’ve ordered some good ones, I’m then hoping to take a look at camshaft/valves etc
