Opel Corsa: AdBlue / Refilling AdBlue
Caution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Note
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g.
at Opel dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Note
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:
- Continuously drive the vehicle
for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 20 km/h.
- If AdBlue refill is detected
successfully, AdBlue supplydriven
warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap
from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.
The vehicle must be parked on a level
surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the fuel filler flap.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked.
- Switch off the ignition.
- Close all doors to avoid ammonia
fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
- Release the fuel filler flap by
pushing the flap.

- Unscrew protective cap from the
filler neck.
- Open AdBlue canister.
- Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
- Lift the canister until it is empty, or
until the flow from the canister has
stopped.
- Place the canister on the ground
to empty the hose, wait
15 seconds.
- Unscrew the hose from the filler
neck.
- Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
Note
Dispose of AdBlue canister
according to environmental
requirements. Hose can be reused
after flushing with clear water before
AdBlue dries out.
