I keep reading here in some forum post about AdBlu, I have a 17 plate Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi Tenka 5 door hatchback, I have seen something about an imput option next to the diesel tank intake, but I don't have that so can somebody advise me if I need to put AdBlu and where does it go in, or will it be part of the service and the benefits of AdBlu? all help and advice appreciated

If there's no nozzle there there's no need to fork out for AdBlue, another EU initiative to make vehicle ownership ever
more expensive. If you peruse this forum, many owners have had issues; at least you won't have those problems.

Adblue was introduced on Qashqais from September 2018.

There were a lot of problems initially with it - https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post ... hqai---new
