Hi, I have a 307 1.6 HDI. I have just purchased it. I am getting the message that the Diesel Additive Level is at it's minimum. The book tells me to go to the nearest Peugeot garage to have it filled up again. - Surely not!
What do I need to buy and where does it go? Also what happens if I don't add any?
Cheers
This is the Eolys fluid, which is used to burn off the soot particles in the exhaust filter. If you don't bother to do anything then the filter will block, and you will have to get a new one, shouldn't be much over =A3500, unless you can get it exchanged at about =A3200. The fluid is available only from Peugeot or Citroen dealers, in a 3 litre top up kit, so you can do it yourself. It is expensive, something like =A325 per litre. The tank which holds the fluid is just in front of the NS rear wheel.
NB. filling the tank will not turn off the warning, that has to be done with the appropriate software.
