AdBlue quality test and DEF tank flush for your Sprinter fixes contaminated or diluted DEF that triggers a quality fault and a no-start countdown. We test DEF concentration with a refractometer, drain and flush the tank and lines, refill with fresh fluid, and clear the fault, so the SCR system reads correct quality again and your fleet van keeps moving.


## What this includes
- DEF concentration test with a refractometer
- Drain and flush of the DEF tank and supply lines
- Inspection of the DEF pump and level sensor
- Refill with fresh DEF at the correct concentration
- Quality-fault clear and countdown reset
- Verification of SCR quality reporting

## Who it is for
- A DEF quality fault triggers a no-start countdown
- The tank got the wrong fluid or water
- DEF concentration reads out of range
- You topped off with old or contaminated DEF

## Pricing
Mechanical labor runs $260 per hour; a flush and refill versus pump work sets the range, all set in writing after inspection.

## FAQ
### What causes a DEF quality fault?
Diluted, contaminated, or wrong fluid in the DEF tank. Even topping off with water or old DEF can set it. We test the concentration with a refractometer.

### What if I put the wrong fluid in the DEF tank?
Do not drive far. We drain and flush the tank and lines, refill with fresh DEF, and clear the fault before the wrong fluid harms the pump or injector.

### How is DEF quality tested?
We use a refractometer to measure urea concentration, which should sit near 32.5 percent. Readings outside that range confirm contamination or dilution.

### Will a flush fix the no-start countdown?
If bad DEF caused the fault, flushing and refilling with the correct fluid clears the quality code and the countdown. We verify the SCR reads right afterward.
