XTrail AdBlue Error No Start

I've got a 2016 Nissan XTrail diesel with about 131940 km on the clock. I'm getting an AdBlue error in the speedometer related to the SCR catalyst. The AdBlue tank is empty, even though I filled it recently, and now the engine won't start! Could this be a defective AdBlue output from the tank to the dosing unit? Has anyone else run into this?

Hey, I've got an XTrail too. Sounds familiar! Was the dashboard lit up before it refused to start? Wondering if your DEF fluid system is acting up like mine did.

Yeah, the dashboard was displaying a warning for a while before things got this bad. So, it sounds like you've dealt with something similar. Was it definitely the AdBlue system causing the no-start issue? And was it something to do with the injection system?

Yep, pretty sure it was the AdBlue. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They said the output from the AdBlue tank to the dosing unit was defective. Cost me around 250€ to get it sorted.

Thanks a lot for the info! I suspected it might be something like that. I'll get it booked into a workshop to get the AdBlue output checked. Fingers crossed it's a similar fix and price. At least I know what to tell them to look for.
