Your build date is 02/04/2012 (RPO 12929), so your X7 will have originally had Poweflex Additive filled at the factory and should have a blue click fit connector. will have Extend and will be a Green Click Fit:

A C5 X7 with a build code of 12929 takes Eolys EXTEND and should have a green click fit connector.
Part no 1623961580 for a 1 litre kit or 1623961680 for a 3 litre refill kit.

I've just corrected my post - as I read the 'Except C5 X7'.

Its easy to miss the ‘except’ bit.
It should be noted that when it says black click fit this means the colour of the cap in the filling kit, not the fitting on the car.

Thank you two, guys, for the quick response!!
Then, Eolys EXTEND. Great.

I assume that I can buy a 3 litre refill kit (1623961680) to be ready when the message with the advise arise...

Again thank you very much.

If you've never had it filled, I would go for a 3 Litre kit - but bear in mind this stuff does not keep. - It's cheaper for a 3 litre kit, but if you prefer you can go for 1 litre bottles instead. Then you'll need to rese the additive counter using Diagbox preferably.

Hi Marc,

It will be the second refill.

Where could I download Diagbox? Would anyone send it to me or tell me how (or where/from) I can download it?

Thank you!

Diagbox is the software used with a laptop and the Lexia VCI hardware kit - it is useless on it's own. Or take it to the dealer and ask them to reset the additive counter for you (although they will charge you of course).

Hi guys,

Can you please advise on what type of eolys best to use?
VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Should I trust my street garage with that Patfluid? Or better to go with main dealer?

Thanks

If you get your RP number found on the bottom of your tyre pressure label & your vehicle model the table above will tell you which fluid you need.
Dont use PAT fluid, i find it amazing that PSA have 4 different fluid types most of which cant be mixed with each other but euro crap parts sell ‘uiniversal’ PAT fluid that goes in every PSA car with a DPF. Make your ownn mind up based on that.

Your RPO is 12126, so the fluid is 'Eolys Extend' which is used on the C5 X7 from RPO (build date) 12076.

Thanks for your quick response🙂
I did check that door label and you're right. 12076 is build date.
Any website you recommend to order this?
I found it on https://peugeotpartsdirect.co.uk/produc ... ys-extend/
And I guess is the same product

I think you typed the wrong RPO - 12126 is your build date. 12076 was the date from which this type of Eolys should be used. So Eolys Extend is what you need :-D
