Passenger car

What is the danger

In some vehicles, under certain driving conditions, the urea injector may block when the engine is turned off, meaning that no urea will be injected when the car is started up again. This blockage is temporary, and the injector will start working normally again after 12 minutes’ driving. This may lead to Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions above the regulatory limits.
