Puma AdBlue System Error

Anyone else had AdBlue issues with their 2020 Ford Puma diesel? Mine's showing an 'AdBlue tank empty' error and the engine won't start. Error memory shows a fault in the SCR catalyst system and I suspect the AdBlue output from the tank to the dosing unit is defective. Car has 235908 km.

I have a Puma too, and faced a similar problem not too long ago. Those dashboard alerts about emissions control are never a good sign, are they? I also initially suspected the AdBlue pump, but it could also be a blocked injector. Are you experiencing any unusual smells from the diesel exhaust?

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't noticed any unusual smells. Since the engine won't start, I'm thinking it's something serious. How was your issue resolved? Any fault codes you remember would be great.

The error message disappeared in my case, but it was the AdBlue system. Since your car won't start, I'd suggest a workshop visit for a proper diagnosis. Sounds worse than mine was. Good luck!

Appreciate the help. Looks like a workshop is the next step. I'll post what they find. I'm guessing it's a bad AdBlue pump, since the error code points that way. Repair is estimated around 250€.
