Adblue Tank
Will the 2014 E 250 diesel have an adblue tank? Or just the larger engines?
|
Had not even thought of that but excellent question.
I see you are VW guy. Right now the Jetta/Golf doesn't need DEF but the Passat/Toureg do need right? Any idea if it's based on car size or engine size? Had 3 cars now with AdBlue and not scared of it at all. But would be nice without... |
Assuming they are keeping the BLUETEC name ...
You will most likely find that AdBlue tank sits in the sparetire well. I fill that up every 10k miles for my E350. Since the engine is now downsized from 3.0 to 2.1L, I am hoping the new one will last longer. Buy the AdBlue with the special filler from VW/MB dealer and then refill it with PEAK DEF 2.5 Gallon Pack from Autoparts stores. |

How much are you putting in ever 10k? Tank is 6 gal but only burn about 4 in my experience over 10k.

That sounds about right. I used just about two of those 2.5 Gallon jugs of DEF. Perhaps I drive my Bluetec a little bit hard (I love torque!)
The DEF i really am not concerned with at all, would just like to have space for a spare tire. I'll drive the E250 in October or so but not sure if it really convince me to trade up. 4matic isn't a necessity for me... |

Yeah gotta love the torque from these engines. I do mostly highway which I understands uses less DEF.

If spare tire is your main concern then have one of these kits in the trunk or http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=38 I believe they are both run-flat safe. Just the tip the tire repair guy better for spending extra time cleaning up. |
Do you know where I can get a compact spare wheel for my 15 E250 blue tec / w. 245/45/17” tires
