Add blue is cheap and sold at every service station, petrol outlet. Why bother with water when you can fill with the right stuff anywhere anytime? M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

your exhaust gas regulation sensors would probably notice leading to a DTC and shut the car of, if it ever would start anyway. I would not advise this, given the sensitivity of the sensors the DPF and catalic converter. You might be confronted with high repair costs RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux

When I was driving trucks in 2007 I got one of the first trucks (Daf) with it fitted,,the company got 3 new trucks & we used to just top them up with water till the truck companys got wise to it then in 2008 one of the drivers got a new truck put water in it & it detected a problem & went into shut down.

The DPF is upstream of the SCR catalyst, so that would be unaffected by water. However, there will be NOx sensors both upstream and downstream of the SCR catalyst, so these would read zero NOx reduction if only water was injected, despite the ECU looking for some difference in the values from the sensors, before and after. I suspect that this would raise a fault and bring on the engine MIL light. I am not sure of the JLR protocol for what comes next, but probably a derating of the engine to limp-home mode. Then the next time a cold start is attempted, it would not start. That is pretty standard across the industry.
