I have a 2010 Q7 TDI Premium Plus ~85K miles. Had the AudiCare Service through 45K, been performing maintenance myself since then. I have been having a problem with the AdBlue consumption indication (don't know if it is real or not). Contacted Ross-Tech and they provided the MVB for Tank Level. Looking at the Wiki and other posts for adblue haven't found anything that helps (yet).

My issue is the AdBlue warning is on in the car and I can't get it to turn off. I recall the very first time I filled the AdBlue tank (10K after last AudiCare service) and it took 5+ gals to fill, I remember because I only bought a single 2 1/2 gal jug and needed to run and get 2 more, After reading multiple threads that seemed right. Problem was the AdBlue warning came on in about 1500 miles, I topped off the tank and had to repeat that approach for a while. Then I found a thread that said the AdBlue tank level doesn't reset automatically and you need to turn the ignition key-on for 30+ secs (with engine off) to reset the tank level. I tried that and it seemed to work (until last night). After the last top-off of AdBlue and Key-on reset, car ran about 5K before I got the AdBlue alarm. Last night repeated the fill procedure (add adblue shake the car to get the fluid to drain to the main tank, repeat) until the top tank was full (could see fluid in the filler neck) and it wouldn't take any more. Problem is the alarm didn't clear (like it had in the past).

Some of threads I have seen where some say Adaptation is required and some say it isn't (depending on the version software you have). As stated, I have tried the "Key on for 30+ secs" but that didn't work this time. Using the information provided by Ross-Tech checked the MVB for tank level and it shows 19.01 (which I gather is %). So now the request for help.

1) Does anyone have specific Adaptation instructions (Which Tab, Which Module, Which Value, New Value for full tank etc.). Tried stepping through the obvious ones but didn't see any that had "19" as the current value (the reported level in my tank).


As noted in the long winded intro I have been sorta struggling with this for a while (low level alarm coming on in short miles) but have always been able to top of the tank, see the alarm clear and drive on so while it wasn't right is wasn't a big problem.

Sorry for the long post and any help is appreciated.

Here is the scan summary from last night (if it helps). If more information is needed let me know and I'll download it.

What does the service book or repair manual say?

www.erwin.audi.com

Personally I would like to see a status/reset button for all service resets oil/Urea green from AD blue............ In VCDS main screen, as part of broadcast, or auto-scan screen.

Jack@European_Parts, The service manual doesn't say much, (nothing that I can find about adaptations etc.) That said, in prep for trying to get more help I downloaded the Measure Block file this morning and upon closer inspection the number in the Tank Cont field is not % but liters. When I looked at the file I could clearly see the number was 19.0 l not 19.01. so apparently the key-on 30+secs does reset the tank level. After topping off the tank and taking the car for a spin the value for the Tank Cont is 27.0 l which is a full tank (from my understanding) and the alarm is cleared. Still don't know why the alarm wouldn't clear last night, that symptom plus the short time between alarms makes me believe there is an issue (although I now know it isn't high AdBlue consumption).

My problem now is trying to understand why the AdBlue warning was on if I could only put ~12 liters of AdBlue in the tank. (unfortunately I didn't check the Tank Cont value before I filled the tank. The consumption seems about right (less than 1/2 a tank of AdBlue to go 4500 miles) but the alarm coming on is definitely not right.

Dutch VanAtlanta provided adaptation instructions (from before the software change) so when the frustration level goes down I'll have to go out and check the adaptation module values and compare them to the info for Dutch VanAtlanta.

Thanks for the interest and anyone have any ideas on the alarm issue would love to hear them.

Okay then maybe check the sensor in the urea tank.
Check for resistance values being correct based on an evacuation and fill of the tank while being reset at different levels.

ok, thanks

You happen to have a source (that I can access) for the acceptable resistance values for the sensor?

VW/Audi had a few issues and flash updates to correct Glow Plug/Pressure sensor, AdBlue, DPF and similar issues but the only TSB I happened to locate for this vehicle was pretty old:

TPI # 2025155/1
Release date: Jan 20, 2011
01 DTC Stored Inside Pressure Sensor Cylinder 2 or 5, Range/Performance P13D3, P13DC, Slightly Reduced Performance​

I want to believe yet another TPI and flash update is available so we can dig deeper if needed. In the meanwhile you may want to try the Adaptation Channel 080 trick but I would prefer to see an Adaptation Function Control Module Map first. (I couldn't find a PLA in our email history but we did have a PLB from you)

Thanks for sending the maps!

I have 2 suggestions and the first would be easier:

1) Per the PLA file Adaptation Channel 080 reads:
A80,0,
;3
A80,1,
;
A80,2,
;00010001
A80,3,
;0.0
A80,4,
;0.0 %

I realize a single 1 was not accepted but please try to save a new value of 0001 (or some variant of that with preceding zeros).

The 2009/2010 VW Touareg 3.0L EDC17 reports a value of 0004 after 0001 is accepted so please let us know what happens if this controller allows you to save at all.​

Also, take a look at MVB 174 to see if it changes at all, perhaps from 00000011 -to- 00000100 after the Long Adaptation modification.​


2) If that was not possible or successful we can try the complete VW AdBlue Touareg Tech Tip style procedure. The AdBlue system must be full and the engine controller should be fault-free. If the system is malfunctioning (externally leaking and/or electrical malfunctions of system components in general) this procedure should NOT be used. This has fixed several Audi vehicles with our phone based support services but I'm not aware of an official Audi TSB or Tech Tip so I'd consider it experimental at best.

This involves removing a fuse for the AdBlue system (Reducing Agent system components) and those vary based on the vehicle and production date. Official Factory Repair Information can be obtained by using the appropriate erWin website.

In this particular case the NAR Q7 CCMA and CATA engines codes through May 2010 production happen to use Fuse S17 for the components in question:

Reducing Agent Metering System Pressure Sensor G686
Reducing Agent Pump V437
Reducing Agent Pump Heater Z103​

The VW Touareg used an entirely different fuse and the June 2010+ Q7 does as well

  • Remove the S17 fuse which should be located in the engine compartment, Driver's side Relay and fuse carrier.
  • Turn the ignition on and back off followed by reinstalling the fuse.
  • Turn the ignition back on and check Adaptation Channel 080 which should have a stored value of 3.
  • Save a new value of 0003 to that channel followed by another ignition cycle and clearing the new fault codes we set to see if the AdBlue warnings on the dash are resolved.
If the warning is not reset for any reason I would absolutely experiment with the new value of 0001 again.

Dana, will you please explain the process for the 2010 Touareg? I have VCDS 12.12.3 installed and am having trouble finding the process for resetting the AdBlu warning.

If it comes down to it, which fuse would I remove for the Touareg?

Why do you think any reset is necessary? What fault codes do you have?

The AdBlue warning in the MFI is currently displaying that I have 300 miles before no start. The AdBlue tank was recently filled and is currently full.

I just purchased this vehicle from CT and drove it home to Detroit on Sat. Shortly after I left the used car dealership the AdBlue warning started a countdown at 450 miles, 400 miles, 350 miles, 300 miles but has not gone any lower. I'm completely locked out of the MFI display once it reached the 300 mile warning. I have driven probably close to 700 miles since the 300 mile warning has appeared which is concerning me to some degree as well. Shouldn't it have kept counting down and eventually prevented me from starting the vehicle? Not that I'm complaining about that. I'm glad I have still been able to drive without issue so far.

I'm new to Touareg's but have used VCDS for basic code resetting in the past with our other TDI's (B4 Passat, B5.5 Passat, 2012 Golf).

Here's a scan of the vehicle. I was able to clear the codes and they came back at every interval listed above. Once I reached the 300 mile warning and cleared the codes, no DTC's have reappeared, but the MFI has never reset the warning and continues to show 300 miles until no start.

The AdBlue warning in the MFI is currently displaying that I have 300 miles before no start. The AdBlue tank was recently filled and is currently full.

I just purchased this vehicle from CT and drove it home to Detroit on Sat. Shortly after I left the used car dealership the AdBlue warning started a countdown at 450 miles, 400 miles, 350 miles, 300 miles but has not gone any lower. I'm completely locked out of the MFI display once it reached the 300 mile warning. I have driven probably close to 700 miles since the 300 mile warning has appeared which is concerning me to some degree as well. Shouldn't it have kept counting down and eventually prevented me from starting the vehicle? Not that I'm complaining about that. I'm glad I have still been able to drive without issue so far.

I'm new to Touareg's but have used VCDS for basic code resetting in the past with our other TDI's (B4 Passat, B5.5 Passat, 2012 Golf).

Here's a scan of the vehicle. I was able to clear the codes and they came back at every interval listed above. Once I reached the 300 mile warning and cleared the codes, no DTC's have reappeared, but the MFI has never reset the warning and continues to show 300 miles until no start.

OK, even though that DTC didn't reoccur I would say something is wrong with the system. If I had to guess they probably cleared DTCs before you purchased the vehicle. If you happen to have a pre-purchase Auto-Scan check to see what the Readiness Status was at that time ...even if faults weren't present.

1) It looks like a flash update applies to this EDC but I haven't dug for TSB 01-14-18 yet to see what it claims to correct. Either way, dealer level updates are a good thing even if this specific issues isn't addressed due to a mechanical or actual problem.

2) Please double check the Official Factory Repair Information for this vehicle but I believe Fuse S14 (E-Box, Driver's side) is the one in question. Providing that matches your research use the entire procedure I provided for the Q7 and simply substitute the fuse number. Any Adapt Ch 080 and MVB 174.1 feedback you happen to have would be appreciated.

I agree, there isn't anything that needs to get "Reset" here. Instead, the source of the "008319 - Reductant Quality Performance" DTC needs to be addressed. My sense with this DTC is that it's due either to bad reductant in the tank, or some issue with the reductant quality sensor.

Until the OP gets this sorted, he's going to need keep clearing that DTC. I believe the ECU will give him 600 more miles every time he clears it.

I almost have to wonder if someone has modified the car for programming.......prior to purchase......something to investigate and I think by a re-flash like Dana stated is advisable.

In addition to above.
I would experiment with variable resistors to that sensor to see if I can manipulate the DTC and isolate the problem with tools such as below.

Is this what you're asking for? Sorry, still new to the terminology here.

I agree that it needs to be addressed and fixed, but I'd really like to get into the MFI so I can change some other settings. Having the 300 mile warning message off of the MFI would be helpful as well as that does not go away even when the DTC's are cleared.

I can find info all day long on 2011 +, but all the info I find for the 2010's is not really valid anymore. I don't have measuring values that go above 254.

The 2009/2010 VW Touareg 3.0L EDC17 reports a value of 0004 after 0001 is accepted so please let us know what happens if this controller allows you to save at all.​

Also, take a look at MVB 174 to see if it changes at all, perhaps from 00000011 -to- 00000100 after the Long Adaptation modification.​
Is this what you're asking for? Sorry, still new to the terminology here.

Pic of Long Adapt 080 removed for space reasons but the New Value of 4 is confirmed

Pic of MVB 174.1 (measuring group 174, 1st field of display = .1) removed but the New Value of 00000100 was confirmed

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for!

I agree, the issue needs to be diagnosed and fixed, but also understand that you need to be able to start the vehicle and move it (T'regs are beasts to push around). If the MFA threats weren't resolved and the EDC is still fault free... after the 1)st operation please move along to the advanced fuse pulling 2)nd steps in post #7.

Thanks Dana! With your help and some help from Google, I found this procedure in an Elsa update and it worked. I'll keep an eye on it for a while and will report back with any updates / issues.

Just to clarify for anybody else who has to go through this, the fuse box with the S14 fuse is located on the driver side under the engine cowling in front of the windshield wipers. The fuses are labeled on the black plastic that holds the actual fuse.

Excellent, VW revised and re-revised that Tech Tip a handful of times but the most recent official copy I have very similar:

TT 26-1 1 -03 Date: June 3, 201 1
2009-2010 Touareg – AdBlue light on with Tank Full

I cannot post it here (Copyrighted material belonging to VW/Audi) but that photobucket link should be very helpful to others!

Now that the warning light is off I'd like to look at the measuring blocks to determine if the sensor is reading the correct fluid level in the AdBlue tank. Which measuring block should I be using? The info I've found online has measuring block #'s in the 500's & 600's. Mine only goes up to 254 in the standard measuring blocks and much less in the advanced measuring block section (can't remember the exact # at the moment).
