Hard to say. It has the potential to be of benefit on short runs, could even help speed up warm up times, but in reality, it's such a complex interconnected system, all digitally controlled, who can say! Best indicator would be to speak to someone with real world experience - your garage owner? If there are far fewer DPF issues on adblue cars, they're likely to have noticed. @premmington ?
The theory might not translate to reality.
A colleague at work suddenly started turning up in a Porsche mini suv thingie . . . Seems they bought one for the wife to use - so she did . .2 mile to school and back in the morning . . . and 2 mile to the scool and back in the afternoon . . . then it stopped working . . . all bunged up . . . sorted out . . and it did it again . . . so he stared using it one a day a week to get it hot . . . it did it again . . . I believe it was bought back and he had to sign things . .
Interesting, so no noticeable difference/reduction in DPF or EGR issues on cars with adblue then? Or is it too early to tell really?Want some real world advice - buy a petrol car/van if you can.
The only diesel vehicles that don't have DPF problems are vehicles that get up to temp and stay up to temp (high mileage trunking vans - transfer minibuses).
Yes there are going to be loads of people on here who have a diesel vehicle and not had a problem - my Euro 6 VW Passat highline estate is diesel and I have not had any problems - but I only use it for long runs! But sadly I see loads of poor people every week that have got expensive diesel problems.
Want an Adblue nightmare story - I have changed about six Adblue tanks on Audi Q5's already - level sensor faults - tanks cost huge money.
I also have done a couple on Citroen C3's. Plus one on a Hyundai i800 (cost of this even made me smart a bit).
All suffered level faults and looming "lock out" for miles left - even when brimming with Adblue.
To me it is just something else very expensive to go wrong.
I want one of the these...

I'd say newer vehicles are more reliable, but probably nothing specifically due to having SCR systems. It's just there have been a lot of major redesigns to meet Euro 6, so lots of legacy problems have been properly fixed/eliminated.Interesting, so no noticeable difference/reduction in DPF or EGR issues on cars with adblue then?

(Issues with adblue aside that is!)
We have a diesel pickup truck. It does the vast majority of its journeys, less than 1/2 a mile. About once a fortnight it does a ~30mi round trip with a trailer. I try to keep revs a decent constant on these trips which isn't ideal. I'd like to be able to personally monitor DPF status (back pressure) and choose manually when to regen.
What I'd really like is a plug in hybrid petrol pickup. Short journies on electric, petrol for the towing. Apparently they aren't a thing.

The issues still remains that if you do have a problem, there are a lot of potentially very expensive parts that could be the problem.
If the adblue technology can be made reliable, there's a chance it'll also be fitted to petrols, which would then allow them to lean burn (like diesels) and see increased fuel economy as a result.
one thing we dont do is use cars for pointless trips to the shops or where ever. And we didnt choose the car for environmental issues.As mentioned by others, diesel is the wrong fuel type for what I'd guess is the vast majority of diesel fuelled drivers.
Needing to take your car on a pointless journey to regen defeats the object of reducing the emissions in the first place.
For a lot of peoples vehicle use petrol or electric would be the better fuel choice, or stop being lazy and walk to the shop instead of driving 2 minutes round the corner.
I rather agree with premmington, for the types of journey you are doing, you ought to be using a petrol (or electric) car. I have a diesel (Ingenium engined Jaguar XE, yes, I know!) that I bought specifically to do my daily 70 mile round trip commute to work. When covid put paid to the job I really rather wish I had a petrol. All I'm doing now is a 14 mile trip into town twice a week to pick up my granddaughter so I'm not sure if it gets hot enough for long enough to even do a regenone thing we dont do is use cars for pointless trips to the shops or where ever.

Well going to have to think on this then.
First is trying to get back the holding fee of £200, we can argue that the dealers said its the best for our needs when as we now know it isnt.
One way to make more use of it is as we did before when the Mini was running is i lay up my Shogun and use the Citroen aswell for work.
Never mind how do you collect it from farms.So it must be true... why would they use pig urine for a product they already made in thousands of tons anyway?
