Possible Ad-Blue system pressure problems and DPF regeneration errors in the Opel Antara Diesel 2010

Hi guys, I have a small problem with my 2010 Opel Antara Diesel (almost 188,000 km run) and wanted to ask if any of you have had similar problems. The warning lights in the speedometer and the check engine light are illuminated, and there is also an error in the DPF regeneration. I suspect that it could be due to low system pressure in the Ad-Blue system. Has anyone had similar problems in the past or even a negative experience at the mechanic like I did on my last visit? Any tips would be a great help! Many thanks in advance and best regards!

Hi, I have experienced similar symptoms on my 2013 Opel Insignia Diesel. It's definitely not an unsolvable problem. I also had the check engine light on and the Ad-Blue system showed a drop in pressure. After I went to the garage, it turned out that my Ad-Blue tank was defective. The mechanic then replaced the tank and a few pipes and bent the system so that it ran properly again. The car then ran like clockwork again. Without a doubt, this sounds like a serious problem, but it is definitely fixable. I tell you, I was pretty lucky that it was discovered in time, otherwise it would have caused even more trouble. As for the DPF regeneration, I couldn't directly link that to my problem, but it could still be related. I would definitely recommend taking your car to the garage and getting that checked out. And yes, keep us posted! Good luck buddy!

Hi, really good information, thank you! It's great that you've got the problem under control. How hard did replacing the Ad-Blue tank and the lines hit you in the wallet overall? And have you had any other incidents with the car since the repair? Best regards and thanks again!

Hello again, I'm glad that the information has helped you. So, replacing the Ad-Blue tank and the lines cost €1620. That's not exactly a penny, is it? But the good news is that since the repair, the problem with the "Ad-Blue system pressure too low" has been fixed and I haven't had any further incidents with the car so far. So in that respect it was really worth it. Best regards and keep us up to date on how things are going for you!

Hello, phew, that's a hefty cost! But well, the main thing is that the car runs again afterwards. Thanks for the helpful information. Hopefully I'll have the same luck as you and won't have any more problems after the repair. Will definitely go to the garage and hopefully it's just the ad-blue tank. I'll keep you posted, thanks again and see you soon! Best regards!
