UREA, also known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), is an essential component of modern diesel engines. It is used to reduce harmful emissions and is a crucial part of the emission control system. However, like any mechanical system, the UREA system can experience failure which can lead to a variety of problems.
The causes of the malfunction in the UREA system
What actually causes a malfunction in the UREA system, and how can it be prevented? One of the most common reasons for UREA system failure is low fluid levels. If the UREA tank becomes completely depleted, it can cause a malfunction in the system and lead to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption and even engine damage. To prevent this, it is important to regularly check the UREA levels and refill the tank as needed.
Another reason for the failure of the UREA system is a damaged injector or a clogged filter. These problems can prevent the urea from diffusing properly and lead to the same problems as low urea levels.
Routine maintenance, including changing the injector and cleaning or replacing the filter, can help prevent these problems.
If you experience a malfunction in the UREA system, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your vehicle. In our workshop, we offer a variety of services to diagnose and repair problems of the UREA system, which ensure that your vehicle will drive at its best and meet all the necessary emission standards.
Maintenance and upkeep of the UREA system
Maintaining the UREA system in a diesel vehicle is an important part of keeping the vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. Here are some tips for treating your UREA system:
1) Keep the DEF tank full: Check the DEF tank frequently and keep the DEF tank full at all times. If the DEF tank is getting low, it can cause the car’s emission control system to malfunction, which can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and increased emissions. A DEF filling station can be found at almost every gas station today.
2) Use quality DEF: It is important to use only high quality DEF in your vehicle. Cheap or low-quality DEF can contain impurities that can damage the emission control system and cause it to malfunction.
3) Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations: each manufacturer has specific recommendations for maintaining the UREA system in their vehicle. It is important to follow these recommendations, including using the correct type and amount of DEF, to ensure that the system operates properly.
Correct maintenance of the UREA system is not only good for your car, but also good for the environment and the health of those around you. If you still experience a malfunction or suspect a malfunction in the UREA system, you can contact us and come to our workshop for an inspection.
