Audi AdBlue Warning Light
(Error code: P13DF09 AdBlue system has malfunction)
Your Audi’s AdBlue system is more than a simple solution for reducing diesel emissions; it’s an intricate network of injectors, sensors, pipes and pumps designed to work seamlessly together.

When a recent client brought their Audi A8 to us, they were concerned about the AdBlue warning light showing on their dashboard. It’s a fairly common issue we see at Gent’s Garage, but it’s something you shouldn’t ignore.
Upon inspection, we noticed a white crusty deposit on the engine components, which is something you don’t want to see and indicated there is a leak in the vehicle’s AdBlue system.
Before visiting us, our client had previously sought help from another garage, which had attempted to fix the issue by replacing a section of the piping. Unfortunately, despite the hefty repair cost, the leak was not fixed.
You’ll agree this is far from ideal, leaving our client frustrated and out of pocket. Luckily, they chose to visit Gent’s Garage for a second opinion.

At Gent’s Garage, we employ a 15-step diagnostic process, allowing us to solve any problem the first time around. This saves you time, money and stress while giving you peace of mind your vehicle is in complete working condition.
Kicking things off, our team of Audi specialists performed an in-depth visual inspection of the engine to rule out any additional issues that could be linked to the AdBlue problem.
Next, leveraging their vast experience, skill set and comprehensive understanding of all things Audi, they carried out a thorough evaluation of the vehicle’s AdBlue system. This examination ensured that AdBlue fluid itself was of the highest quality and didn’t contribute to the problem.
They checked the system’s pressure, which is expected to be within the 4.5 to 5.5 bar range. The pressure was within these parameters, so the investigation turned towards the AdBlue injector system.
During a meticulous analysis of the injector, our Audi experts assessed it for leaks, checked if it maintained pressure effectively, evaluated the spray pattern, and assessed the injection quality.
The results from this test showed the AdBlue injector didn’t meet the standards required and pointed towards a blockage in the injector. The blockage was causing undue pressure and leaks, both of which would explain why the client’s AdBlue light was on.
To solve the Audi AdBlue issue, our experts concluded that the AdBlue injector and seal would need to be replaced.
