AdBlue, SCR & NOx Delete Services in Auckland
Emission control systems are great when they work but a malfunctioning AdBlue or NOx setup can derail your day fast. Countdown warnings, limp mode, or failure to start? That’s your vehicle telling you the system’s gone sideways. We’re here to sort it with the right balance of technical expertise and practical fixes.
What Is the SCR & AdBlue System?
Many modern diesel vehicles use an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system that injects AdBlue to reduce NOx emissions. If the system malfunctions, the car may trigger a countdown (e.g. “No start in 600 km”) or force the engine into limp mode. That’s why at OBDTech, we offer multiple repair options depending on your needs and budget.
The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system uses AdBlue also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. This fluid, a blend of demineralised water and urea, is injected into the exhaust stream where it reacts in the SCR catalyst, converting harmful NOx into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. It's clever, effective, and absolutely essential for meeting modern emission standards.
When Things Go Wrong – Common Failures
- Warning messages: "No start in XXX km"
- Limp mode activation
- Frequent or failed DPF regens
- SCR efficiency or DEF quality codes
- Incorrect NOx readings due to ammonia slip

NOx Sensors – When and Why to Remove or Replace
Modern diesel engines typically use two NOx sensors one before and one after the SCR catalyst. If they disagree on readings, the system assumes an efficiency fault. That means limp mode, warning lights, or failed WOF checks. Whether it’s sensor failure, ammonia slip, or electrical faults, we offer removal, replacement, or emulation options tailored to your vehicle.
Why SCR AdBlue Deletes Need to Be Done Properly
Important: There are two types of AdBlue removal solutions on the market.
Some quick-fix services only focus on bypassing the warning lights but they often ignore the impact on other systems. This WILL cause future problems, such as the DPF light triggering unexpectedly or unstable DPF regeneration cycles.
At OBDTech, we don’t just disable warnings. Our priority is to keep your DPF system fully functional, ensuring it continues to regenerate correctly and protect your engine. We make sure all required sensors (temperature, pressure, etc.) are working properly and that the ECU logic for DPF regeneration remains intact.
We don’t use universal delete tools or one-size-fits-all maps. Every job is tailored to your specific make, model, and ECU.
OBDTech AdBlue Guarantee:
If you choose us for AdBlue/SCR removal and your vehicle later goes to the dealership for a recall or service and they flash the ECU with a software update that removes our solution we will reapply our AdBlue fix free of charge, even on the new software version.
No hidden fees, no surprises. You’re covered with us.
