Hi!
Can someone more knowledgeable than me please tell me if I can drive it 1000 km more before putting it in service? 
 
 
Usually when I top up the tank, I always choose the cheapest diesel available. Yesterday I chose by mistake the more expensive version and immediately after I was told by the vehicle that there´s a problem with the hand brake (there wasn't). I restarted the car, I drove around 500 meters and the next two errors shown were â€Engine fault: repair needed†and â€Particle filter additive level too lowâ€. At the next restart only the last error was shown and at the next one both, again. Meanwhile I drove around 90 km and the car functions perfectly. The only problem is that it asks me to SERVICE it and I really lack the time in the next 1000 km. Keeping in mind that its last service was 10,000 km ago, is there any real issue if I drive it 1,000 km extra before servicing it? Please help! :)

No you should be fine 

But would get it Serviced ASAP after that

And get the Particle filter additive topped up as well as that can cause even more probs if you Dont

The eolys fluid additive is dosed when the diesel tank is filled and takes a signal from magnets in the fuel tank cap (if the same as the C5). So when you have filled up, it has dosed the fluid and now based on a calculation of the number of fills it thinks the fluid tank is at a low level. So it needs filling up and the ecu reset and hence probably the reason for the service message. The oil/filter engine service is probably not due yet at only 10000 km since the last one, unless the time interval has been reached or the service interval was not reset at the last service.
