The urea injection is in place to control the NOx emmissions. Injecting small amounts into the exhaust post turbo allows for the formation of non-volitile compounds. It forms with the nitrogen oxides and makes inert compounds that can go through the other after treatments. They only have a capacity for so much on board and the quantity used depends on the type and style of driver. It will need to be serviced and maintained by the dealer sometime within the first 100K of the life of the car.
