Seat Ibiza AdBlue System Problem
Summary of the thread
The Seat Ibiza is experiencing issues with the AdBlue system, indicated by an empty tank warning, error messages, and a non-starting engine. The problem may stem from a defective AdBlue output from the tank to the dosing unit. A suggested solution is to inspect the AdBlue pump and lines for leaks or blockages, which can be identified by white, crusty deposits. If the issue is complex, consulting a mechanic is recommended to avoid further complications.

I haven't checked those specifically. Where exactly would I find the AdBlue pump, and how would I know if there's a leak? Is it something obvious, or do I need special tools? I am not really mechanically inclined.

On the Ibiza, the pump is near the tank itself. Leaks can sometimes be spotted by looking for white, crusty deposits. But honestly, if you're not comfortable poking around, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. Could save you money in the long run, especially if it's a more complex issue.

You were totally right! Took it to a mechanic, and it was exactly as you described – something wrong with the AdBlue output. Cost me around 250€ to fix, but at least my Ibiza is running again. Thanks for the help!

Sounds like the DEF fluid system on my Seat Ibiza. I had a similar issue, though the error message was slightly different. Have you checked the AdBlue pump or any of the lines for leaks? That stuff can crystalize and cause blockages.
