AdBlue anti-crystal agents are additives designed to prevent the formation of crystals in AdBlue solutions, which can cause damage to the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system in diesel vehicles. These agents work by modifying the properties of the AdBlue solution, making it less prone to crystallization and in return reducing costly repairs ...

Prevention is always better than a cure.

Here at Niall Devery Auto Services we insist on adding Anti Crystalision products when refilling adblue as part of your regular service schedule.

Niall Devery Auto Services maintain your vehicle to a minimum approved standard set out by manufacturer's and often exceeding manufacturer's standard .

Where do you buy your Adblue ?

How it's stored , and how this can effect your SCR system.

If not stored correctly can cause unnecessary break downs and costly repairs.

Here are some places where you should avoid buying AdBlue:
* Petrol stations that store AdBlue outside in direct sunlight: Exposure to sunlight can degrade AdBlue, reducing its effectiveness and potentially damaging your vehicle's SCR system.

If you're unsure about the storage conditions of AdBlue at a particular store it's best to avoid purchasing it there.

Always buy AdBlue from reputable suppliers to ensure you're getting a genuine product that meets the required standards.

Check the expiration date: AdBlue has a limited shelf life, so check the expiration date before purchasing.

Store AdBlue properly: If you buy a larger quantity, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Visual Changes to look out for:

* Crystallization: Over time, AdBlue exposed to sunlight can begin to crystallize. This is particularly noticeable around the cap or spout of the container.

* Color Change:
The fluid may appear slightly discolored or cloudy.

Other Indicators:
* Stronger Odor: Degraded AdBlue may emit a stronger, more pungent ammonia odor.

* Reduced Effectiveness: The chemical composition of AdBlue can be altered by exposure to sunlight, reducing its ability to reduce NOx emissions.

Essential Vehicle checks before driving in foggy Conditions.

* Lights:
* Headlights: Ensure they're clean and functioning properly. Use dipped beams in fog to avoid glare.

* Fog Lights: If your car has them, use them when visibility is significantly reduced. Remember to turn them off when visibility improves.

* Windshield:
* Wipers: Check that they're in good condition and working effectively. Replace worn blades if necessary.
* Washer Fluid: Ensure you have plenty of fluid to keep your windshield clear.
* Defroster: Verify that it's working correctly to prevent fogging inside the car.

* Tires:
* Tread Depth: Adequate tread depth is essential for good grip, especially on wet roads.

* Tire Pressure: Maintain correct tire pressure to improve handling and braking.

* Brakes:
* Brake Pads and Discs: Ensure they're in good condition for reliable braking.

Additional Tips:
* Visibility: Keep your windows and mirrors clean, both inside and out.

* Driving Speed: Reduce speed significantly in foggy conditions to allow for increased reaction time.

* Distance: Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.

* Lane Discipline: Stay in your lane and avoid unnecessary lane changes.

* Fog Lights: Use them judiciously, only when visibility is severely limited.

By following these guidelines and driving cautiously, you can significantly improve your safety in foggy conditions.

Many people wonder the difference between original parts such as those supplied by a dealer franchise versus aftermarket parts supplied by many of the aftermarket suppliers and fitted by many independent workshops. Here is a great example!

2006 Toyota Land Cruiser : The Original clutch is manufactured for Toyota by AISIN as seen in the photos below .
We sourced and supplied an aftermarket clutch kit manufactured by AISIN , same part made in the same factory supplied and fitted at a fraction of the cost and also offering the same part and labour warranty period.

We offer both OE and aftermarket solutions for your vehicle repair needs.

Here at Niall Devery Auto Services we pride ourselves on offering quality parts and service to our customers .

Today's job was on a Volvo XC60

Customers complaint was their car alarm was intermittently sound during the night and waking the neighbours, they also had an error message on the dash stating " Alarm system Malfunction" . After a system diagnostic scan and some circuit testing the alarm control module was found to be at fault ,water ingress and corrosion of the circuit board was found to be the cause of the module failure, we supplied and fitted a new genuine module which sorted the issue and made for another a happy customer and neighbours !
