If the AdBlue light has illuminated on the dashboard of your Volkswagen Tiguan, it means that the fluid in the emissions system has reached the minimum level and needs to be topped up. This operation is extremely simple and quick; let’s see how to proceed in this tutorial.

First, purchase a 10-litre canister of urea from any car parts store, then turn off the engine, open the fuel flap, and unscrew the blue cap located on the right.

At this point, insert the canister's nozzle into the opening and pour in the necessary amount of fluid to reach the maximum level.
