Top Up Eolys 176 Fluid C5 2.0hdi 2006 Estate

[C5Ted]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help I have a C5 2.0HDi 2006 Estate. I bought some Eolys 176 fluid a couple of months back but where is the tank and what’s the procedure to top it up? I got a kit with fluid but no instruction.

 

Thanks Ted

You'll find the eolys tank situated at the end of the fuel tank and slightly in front of the n/s rear wheel. There's a shield to be removed first. You probably know that the computer needs resetting after refilling.

Do you know the proceedure for refilling tank?

I haven't needed to do the job yet but I saw this last year and decided to file it for future use:-

 

I knew it was in the area near the rear offside wheel. I took the wheel off and spotted it straight away, a plastic tank strapped on the under side of the main diesel tank. It had a plastic tube, about 10mm, coming from it going under the plastic wheel liner. I also spotted a "knob" on the side, facing the wheel. It had two white "squeezy" tabs. I squeezed the tabs and pulled. The knob then came off leaving a "stub" with a hole in the middle. I put a wire in side to check it went inside the tank and sure enough it did. I took the wheel arch liner off to check out the smaller tube. It had a one way valve on the end and I was sure it was a breather. I then thought how to get the gallon container of liquid in thru the hole. I had a 1 liter empty gearbox oil container, the one with a tube on the end for squeezing oil in. I cleaned this out with petrol and dried it. I decanted the jollop, a liter at a time, with the gear oil container, in to the plastic tank. It took all the fluid. I then replaced everything and fired the engine up. The messages still came up so I took it to the local mechanic who had a machine for checking the codes and he reset the counter on the tank. A result!
