Technical Doblo 1.3MJD ULEZ & Adblue

[daveaclayton]

Hi,
Just acquired a 1016 Doblo 1.3MJD MAXI to replace a Vauxhall combo Maxi 1.6MJD (timing belt slipped).

Bought the 1.3 as it is ULEZ compliant, (checked on TFL site) but I cannot find any Adblue filler point. Does anybody know if this vehicle is compliant without ADBLUE? or is the ADBLUE filler point disguised somehere?

Don't intend to drive in London, but is yours Euro 6 in the V5c logbook?
I have a 1.3 Vauxhall Combo 2014 which is Euro 5 in V5c, but according to this online only Euro 5 petrol engines are compliant.

Euro 5 emissions standard became a requirement for all new approvals from 1 September 2009 and all new registrations from 1 January 2011, and comes with certain restrictions. For example, Euro 5 petrol cars are currently able to enter the London ULEZ (as of July 2019), but Euro 5 diesels will be subject to charges.

I have little intention of doing so too.

The 2016 Doblo 1.3MJD MAXI is EURO6 - and TFL confirm that it is compliant.

I seareched all over for 2015/2016/2017 user manuals. Only the 2015 version shows the Adblue filler point next to the diesel filler point and that is definitely not in this van. That guide showed a number of other things differently to this version.

I don't have the log book yet - will be a few days before it come through. Van is currently being checked over by a local garage for any faults/potential faults - the wife booked it in. Even though it had only done 100 miles since MOT, with no advisorys. (only fault I detected was too many clicks on the handbrake)

Out of curiosity just checked my 2014 1.3 Vauxhall Combo fuel filler and nothing for Adblue there, but it is only Euro5.

FIAT were not big on Adblu / FAP,

There Is a strong possibility that it is NOT reliant on additives

EDIT: the EPER parts system may help clarify,
check against the info on your VIN plate

I asked the service people giving the van a once over to identify the ADBLUE filler. They said that there was NO ADBLUE filler or storage tank. So it must have been compliant without it! Great news - No ADBLUE problems - Yippee!

AdBlue only came in from late 2019 onwards in the UK from what I understand, about the same time as they stopped offering the petrol version, and started offering the 80hp 1.3, as well as the 95hp version.

If it's a 66 plate then it'll be fine to go into London.
