Diesel Additive Minimum Level

[Pcalvin]

Hi! I have just purchased a Citroen C5. 5 days later i got the message displayed "Diesel Additive Minimum Level" I have look in the owners handbook that says urgent top by your Citroen dealer. As anybody found a way round this, IE how do i fill it up? I understand you can buy the fluid but you may need the car pluging into a service computer to turn the warning off?

 

HELP! :lol:

Filling it up isnt the problem. The problem is that having used all its additive the next messages you will be seeing after topping it up are that the particle filter is blocked.

 

Get ready to spend £350 - £400 including the top up.

 

Filling the additive is the easy bit, but it wont turn the message off on the display. Thats where your local dealer comes in.

 

Additive costs around £60. Make sure you ge tthe right stuffl there are 2 types and dont mix.

 

Labour to configure the computers after top up would be around £45 - £65 depending in which part of the country you live.

Seems to be expensive when the time comes to replace the Partculate Filter.

 

Good job I have a maintenence contract on my C5 and my Pic and C1's are petrol.

 

I suppose the price you have to pay to reduce emissions, and there are a lot of Particulate Filters out there.
