AdBlue Injectors have been designed to dissipate heat rapidly and allow technicians to fit quickly and simply.
Manufactured in the UK, the AdBlue injectors comprise of an aluminium heatsink design, which dissipates heat efficiently and promptly, meaning a reduction in temperature and a long-lasting performance.
The design was developed with technicians in mind; the simplicity of the design means there is ample space for the connector and pipe attachment, which means an easier and quicker fit.
Tested for maximum durability
AdBlue is a highly purified diesel exhaust fluid; it is injected into the vehicle’s system to reduce harmful emissions. Mixed with exhaust gases before entering the selective catalytic reduction converter, AdBlue neutralises nitrogen oxide emissions.
Given its importance, Motaquip’s product development team have placed the AdBlue injectors through a rigorous testing process to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and durability. This includes a nitrous oxide datalogger, which confirmed the AdBlue injectors significantly reduce emissions.
- Life test– Simulates real-world, on-vehicle conditions.
- Vibration test– Ensures secure and reliable connections under extreme conditions.
- Salt spray test– Confirms resistance to corrosion and prevents salt ingress into electronic components.
- Thermal shock test– Exposes the AdBlue injectors to rapid temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 125°C).
Currently, 16 million vehicles in the UK rely on AdBlue to comply with Euro 6 emission regulations. However, Motaquip is aware of a growing number of AdBlue injectors failing prematurely, leading to vehicle shutdowns, highlighting the importance of this technology.
Motaquip Business Line Manager, Lee Downey, expanded: “One of the most common AdBlue injector failures is when there is blocked caused by crystallised urea. Over time, AdBlue can crystallise, clogging the injector and housing, which prevents the AdBlue fluid from entering the exhaust. This causes vehicles to fail emissions standards, triggering sensors to stop the vehicle from starting until the injector and housing are replaced.
Additionally, high exhaust temperatures can lead to AdBlue injector failure, making heat management crucial in this area. At Motaquip, we are always looking to develop our range, not just to include the latest technologies, but where there is a need and demand. There are only a limited number of suppliers offering this product, and we’re pleased to be one of those.”
Motaquip’s new AdBlue injectors cover a broad range of vehicle applications, including Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover, Hyundai, Opel, Renault, Vauxhall and Ford. Click the link below to view compatible part numbers.
