08 C4 Grand Picasso DPF fluid

jimbooth

Hi, anyone know of a spurious option to the EOLYS /dpf fluid in the bag? ( blood bag they call them in garages)
Main stealers are €140+ , most factors dont know what im on about.

No spurious option that I have ever found, im sure someone does something though.
Not a huge amount of people know about it, the bag which is 1L lasts around 100,000 miles. I had heard about it years ago and in the space of a week I had to refill two cars.

spurious options are available. You can buy a kit here

You need a lift or a good jack and axle stands to work under the vehicle, (and gloves) and attach the fill line.
There are videos on YT that will help find the tans and ID the port to fill from

Just went with the main option. Gotta get a reset done now though as still registers dpf error ��

Got this job done last week, main dealer, 242 euro, 140,00 km clocked. Then was advised that timing belt needed to be done at 160, 000km , another 600 euro.

Check the glow plugs as they are required for the dpf regeneration which causes the error initially.

Get it done at any independent, much cheaper

Was thinking of this, is there any risk attached going independent or is it any easy job?

I had a peugeot 1.6 hdi. Same engines. They are common enough for independents to have enough knowledge.

The glow plugs take quite a while to do as its difficult to get to.

When I did my C4 the bag was split so this was not an option. Not sure if it is possible to refill these bags

I've bought this on numerous occasions in my local motor factors in Clane (Kildare). No need to go abroad...
