Dpx42 Eolys Fluid

[TheGoose]

Hello there, I hope im posting in the correct place.

 

I have drained my Eolys tank into two bottles and I have just shy of 3 Litres of DPX42 Eolys Fluid for sale.

 

The fluid was removed from my C5 2001 2.2 HDI.

 

The fluid is not contaminated in any way.

 

Please make me an offer!

 

Thanks

 

Mike

Hi Mike, may I ask, have you had your DPF (FAP) removed and all the Eolys DPF files deleted from your ECU? If so how have you got on, where did you get it done and if I can ask -what did it cost?

 

I have a 2.2 HDi, have topped up the Eolys, had a forced regeneration 2 months ago and now have just got another deisel filter blocked message so I am thinking of having mine removed, so your comments will be appreciated.

 

Cheers, Bob H.

Bobster,

is the message for the diesel fuel filter or the exhaust particle filter ?

[Bobster]

Hi Paul,

 

The message is Unblock Diesel Filter which refers to the FAP, the particle filter in the exhaust. The diesel fuel filter is properly maintained, cleaned and checked for water build up.

 

Regards,

Another possibility if you do not want to replace the DPF or knock it out and do the software changes, is to water jet it to remove all the ash that builds up. I think I have read this on here and in the Haynes for the Peugeot 406 2.2 hdi it suggests this.

Hi Paul,

 

Yes I had thought of a pressure wash but I have got complications with the Eolys additive ecu. The Eolys was topped up before any messages appeared, but the ecu would not recognise it. My Citroen dealer tried for 2 hours to reset it but on saving it went back to showing empty, so they said some of the Mark 1s had this problem and the solution was to replace the ecu, the cost was £300+ plus fitting + VAT; however, they warned that the ecu might demand a new FAP which as an exchange was £660 + fitting + VAT so a possible expense of £1300!.

 

After their attempts the Eolys pump dosed the system everytime I switched off the ignition for about a month and then stopped. It has started doing it again since the forced regen. When I got the latest "Unblock Diesel Filter" I did not really believe it as the car has loads of power and is giving me almost 50 mpg. I thought that it might have emptied the Eolys tank (expensive parrafin at £30 a litre!), so I added a dose of Eolys manually with the last fill up and so far have had no messages.

 

As my local garage says, "what a load of complication to put inside an exhaust pipe" -I can't argue with that!

 

Best wishes, Bob H.

Hello there, I have been away for some time and just read the replys to my post.

 

I believe I have created a post or replied to a post of how I done the DPF mod to my C5.

 

I started by removing my DPF/CAT from my exhaust, two clamps, and two pipes which goto the sensor on the bulkhead, and a couple of wires which goto the heat sensors I think. 

The DPF/CAT is bolted together in two halfs, the DPF side has the larger proportion. I unbolted them and smashed the entire system out making a completely hollow unit. (DPF & CAT).  Then re-assembled the exhuast system and re-attached the wires and pipes.

 

I then used a Galletto Cable and ECUsafe to apply a patch to my ECU to turn off the whole DPF system and Re-generaion system.

 

This was done in Sep 2011, and I remember that one I drove the car for the first time the engine pulled like a Train!

For the first 100 odd miles or so there was a nice whistle from the turbo due to the hollowness of the exhuast.  It made the engine sound quite unique, kind of like a huge turbo diesel truck!  But after a while, once the sides of the hollow chamber coked up a bit the turbo whistle reduced a bit. 

 

Regarding any warning messages, or any other mechanical issue, I have had NON.  I still own my C5 to this day, I have done around 7000 miles in the car now, with no issues what so ever. 

 

A few months later I dropped out the Eloys tank and drained it, and re-fitted it.  Hence my post on this thread.

 

I have now sold the fluid. 

 

I do not regret removing my DPF either, My car passed its M.O.T with flying colours back last April 2012 also.

 

In fact the MOT'er commented on how clean my emissions were! ;)

 

I have coupled this with a Diesel Tuning box, and a few more mods too relating to the Re-Gen System and the EGR system, and BOY my car is alot more powerful now. 

 

Regarding Economy, it all depends on how you drive the car, but im still getting around 45-50 mpg.

 

Happy Days

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for the information, I shall at some point remove the DPF & amend the software. Did you buy the galetto cable & software off ebay?

 

Since the forced regeneration, I was (up until the temperature dropped) getting 48 mpg and the car had plenty of power. I guess this will erode away as the FAP starts to clog so then I will remove the FAP.

 

I really love the car, glad you are enjoying yours.

 

Best wishes, Bob H.

 

P.S. to Glen and the site admin, the site looks great; glad to be back in harness.
