DEF ,car will not start ???

DEF warning , add DEF or car will not start . 2013 Passat TDI , car
was shut off before DEF was added . Car will not start , can one now add /
fill DEF and will it start now ? Or does it need a Dealer to clear something
so it will start or is there anything I can do to clear it so it will start now ? ?

"Adblue low tank warnings engine disable on VW Passat TDI, VW Touareg TDI, and Audi Q7 TDi... Since no adblue would result in non compliant emissions, the instrument cluster displays warnings until you refill once you trip the low level warning. On the Touareg, it locks you out of all MFD (multifunction display) menus which means it only shows the adblue warning. Once you run out of ad blue fluid the car will not restart after it's shut down (it will still run fine until you shut if off). The first warning is at 1,500 miles and shows a yellow warning, the second warning is at 400 (Touareg) or 600 miles (Q7) and is red. The final warning says that you cannot restart the engine once it's shut off so drive directly to a service station to add some diesel exhaust fluid. If it runs dry you must add at least 1 gallon. This is really no different than seeing the low fuel warning and needing to drive directly to a fuel station."


Did you put in at LEAST 1 gallon?

A poll? Really?

IIRC fill with more than 1 gallon and then key on but no start for 30 seconds or more and it should clear. Might as well top it off if you are there already.
