Citreon Particle Filter Additive Level too low

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

    My wife is driving a 2009 Citreon C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 HDI and yesterday after filling up a warning message came up on the dashboard indicating that the "Diesel Particle Filter Additive Level too low".

    I rang a dealer but cannot get the car in till next week but we need the car this weekend to do a 220km round trip.

    Does anyone know if there is a range that is ok to travel before the car goes into limp mode?
    Any information would be great.

    I don't think the 09 PSA HDi engines used AdBlue, they used Eolys DPF additive back then. A main dealer will charge you a pretty penny to top that up.

    Yes looks like no easy Adblue fill, says main dealer or qualified workshop to refill, see page 322...

    Yup, the price I got was around 230 euro including VAT and Labour.
    I understand that I have to pay it and get it done, booked in for Monday.

    Still wondering if anyone knows whether it will be ok to drive for the weekend?
