P filter add level low

Post by Adamc3picasso »

Hi all, I have a 2011 C3 picasso and i ran out of dpf additive , which to be honest I didn't know a dpd was fitted to the car, and now I have the "service" light on telling me the p filter add level low. I have topped up the additive but still the pight stays on. Any ideas how to get the light reset or is it a trip to the dealer.

Welcome, you need to tell the car you've topped it up via Diagbox, so probably a trip to the dealer or someone with a Diagbox clone

Notice the BX is still top the list but sadly gone

Anyone got a diagbox in N wales area who knows how to do this. Dealer has told me will need to be fully reconfigured and will take about an hour or more at a cost of £99 per hour. Seems a bit excessive to me

North Wales is quite a large area. Can you be more specific?

Have a look at the list here viewtopic.php?t=56452 and see if someone is close to you. Be aware that not everyone will still be active and, if we are not informed, might still be on the list.
