406 - DPF warning light.

The particulate filter warning light has just come on on my 2.2hdi 406, accompanied by a nice message telling me "Diesel antipollution system defective".

Does anyone know exactly what this means ? e.g. the catalyst tank is empty, there is a significant pressure difference either side of the DPF or... ?

I have about 500 miles to drive before I can reasonably get it to a dealer

- is this going to damage anything ?

Thanks!

Steve

I've taken it into a dealer - apparently I've run out of catalyst fluid (or it's below minimum level).

I would have thought it was just a matter of topping this up but they are telling me that it requires a lot of re-setting up on the diagnostics machine - does anyone know why this would be ? I'd prefer not to pay 400 quid!

Thanks,

Steve
