P207F — Reductant Quality Performance

Don’t put off the repair

A fault code doesn’t yet mean the unit or sensor itself is faulty: often it’s the plug and connector leading to it.

Possible causes

What you can do yourself

  1. Check the AdBlue with a refractometer: normal is 32.5% (31.8–33.2%)
  2. If out of spec — drain, flush the tank with fresh AdBlue and fill with new AdBlue (ISO 22241)
  3. If this is the only code — do not replace the SCR catalyst; first a software update and diagnostics

Stop and don’t drive on if:

  • The Check Engine light is flashing
  • The temperature gauge is in the red or the overheating light is on
  • The red oil pressure light is on
  • Smoke from under the bonnet, a burning or petrol smell
  • Strong jerking, knocking from the engine, or the car barely moves

The explanation comes from the error code reference in the AvtoElektrik PRO app.
