New 430D and it has adblue near the petrol cap - any idea what I have to do with it

Thanks

check the range on the idrive and top up the adblue when it tells you?

Just top it up when it asked for it. Don’t ignore it though as the engine won’t start if it runs out!

Range on my iDrive was showing as around 9000 miles when new, haven’t looked since but think it’s warns you when it gets low.

Really? I thought it just reduced engine power to match the emissions of the engine running with adblue?

Its injected into the exhaust stream post cat to reduce NOx ,
Don't spill it on your alloys tho as it WILL make a mess , despite the can saying " non toxic and harmless " .

My understanding, performance is cut back as you say 'while driving'. After switching off, some engines won't start again until AdBlue is added.
