My dad has a US Volkswagen diesel. He's told me he can refill the urea tank, but he can't reset the computer to tell it the tank was filled, so there's very little point for him to actually refill it. His car will stop working unless he brings it into the dealer, one way or the other.
- Grishnakh 10y agoSee, this is a great example of how our regulators have failed miserably. This kind of practice should be outright banned. There should not be anything on a car that requires you to take it to a dealer to reset; any competent mechanic should be able to do any service on the car, and not need a special dealer-only computer system to make the car recognize the service.
- vonmoltke 10y agoMy car recognizes when I refill the tank. Not sure what is going on with your dad's car.
