AdBlue and SCR delete at our Llandow workshop
Llandow Tuning offers AdBlue removal and SCR delete services at our workshop in Llandow, South Wales. Send your vehicle details so we can assess compatibility and confirm the work and quotation.
The job normally costs £250 and takes around 2 hours. You can wait while we carry out the work. Tell us about any dashboard warning, restart countdown or previous repairs when enquiring so we can plan the appointment around your vehicle.
AdBlue removal and SCR delete services
AdBlue delete, AdBlue removal and SCR delete are terms used for changes to a vehicle's AdBlue dosing and SCR control system. The work depends on the engine management and aftertreatment system fitted. We assess your vehicle before confirming the programming and any component work included in the quote.
Customers often contact us after a recurring AdBlue warning, an SCR fault or a “Car won't restart in X miles” message. The message is useful information, but it does not identify a failed component on its own. Share the exact wording, remaining countdown and any previous diagnosis so we can understand the starting point.
AdBlue is the exhaust fluid used by SCR systems to help reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. For a detailed explanation of the fluid, pumps, dosing injectors and NOx sensors, read our guide to AdBlue and SCR common issues. If you need the cause of a warning investigated, see our AdBlue diagnostic service.
AdBlue delete price: normally £250
What affects the quotation?
Our usual AdBlue delete price is £250. We confirm the quotation for your vehicle after reviewing its details and the work needed.
- The engine, ECU and SCR control system fitted.
- Access and programming requirements for the relevant control units.
- Existing faults, previous modifications and any further diagnosis needed.
- Any component work agreed as part of the job.
If additional diagnosis, parts or other work is needed, we explain and quote for that separately. Sending the vehicle information first helps us confirm the scope before your visit.
Around 2 hours, with the option to wait
The usual job takes around 2 hours, and you can wait while we do the work at Llandow. Confirm the appointment and expected duration when booking.
Let us know about an active restart countdown, a vehicle that will not start or work already attempted elsewhere. Those details can affect the checks and arrangements needed before the appointment.
Confirm Your Price and AppointmentCan you carry out an AdBlue delete on my vehicle?
Compatibility depends on the engine, ECU, software version and SCR system, rather than the badge alone. Vehicles with a similar model name can use different control units and programming methods.
Send your registration, make, model, year and engine details, plus any ECU identification or diagnostic report you already have. Tell us about previous remapping, software updates, replacement control units or AdBlue repairs. We can then establish what needs checking before confirming the job.
We discuss the exact scope with you, including whether the work concerns ECU programming, a separate SCR control unit or any physical components. The term “AdBlue removal” does not by itself define which parts will be removed from an individual vehicle.

What happens at your appointment?
Review the vehicle and warning history
We start with the vehicle details, dashboard messages, previous repairs and available fault-code information. Relevant diagnostic checks help establish the vehicle's condition and the work needed.
Confirm compatibility, scope and price
We assess the control system and programming access, then explain the proposed work and confirm your quotation. Further fault investigation is discussed separately where needed.
Carry out the agreed work
The work follows the requirements of the ECU and SCR system fitted. Our usual appointment is around 2 hours, with the option to wait at the workshop.
Review the result and next steps
Checks focus on the relevant fault information and vehicle operation for the work carried out. Any remaining or separate concerns need their own assessment; an AdBlue service is not a repair for every engine or electrical fault.
Our free initial fault-code scan and printout can provide a starting point if you do not yet have a report. A code scan is separate from a full diagnostic investigation.
AdBlue delete questions
How much does an AdBlue delete cost?
The normal price is £250. We confirm the quote for your vehicle after reviewing its engine, ECU, system details and the work required. Any additional diagnosis or other work is discussed separately.
How long does the job take?
The usual AdBlue delete appointment takes around 2 hours. Confirm the expected duration when booking, particularly if the vehicle has existing faults or previous software changes that need assessment.
Can I wait while you do it?
Yes. You can wait at our Llandow workshop while we carry out the work. Contact us to arrange the appointment and confirm the time needed for your vehicle.
Can you check compatibility from my registration?
Your registration is a useful starting point. We may also need engine, ECU or software information, a diagnostic report or an inspection before confirming compatibility. Tell us about previous remapping or control-unit replacements.
Does AdBlue removal mean taking out the tank?
Not necessarily. The programming and physical work depend on the system fitted and the scope agreed. We explain which control units or components are involved before the job is booked.
What if my dashboard says the vehicle will not restart?
Send a photograph of the exact warning and tell us how much of the countdown remains, or whether the vehicle already will not start. Confirm the assessment and arrival arrangements with the workshop before travelling. The warning alone does not identify the underlying fault.
Will an AdBlue delete fix every warning light?
No. Checks relate to the agreed AdBlue and SCR work. A separate engine, sensor, wiring or other vehicle fault may still need diagnosis or repair. Share all current warnings when requesting a quote.
Can you assess a vehicle already worked on elsewhere?
Tell us what has been replaced or programmed and send any invoices, diagnostic reports or software details available. Previous work can affect the assessment and the quotation, so include it in your enquiry.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the registration, make, model, year, engine, exact dashboard warning, remaining countdown and any fault-code report. Include previous repairs or tuning work and say that you would like an AdBlue delete quotation.
