Hi all
I've recently had the service light come on on my c4 picasso with the service code that indicates the EOLYS system is due to be replenished.
I can see I'm able to get a refill bottle for around £20-30 and have seen YouTubes of similar vehicles that either have a replaceable bag or a refillable tank. My question is where would I expect to find this tank?
I can also see that it needs the engine fault code reset to let the car know it has suitable fluid. This doesnt sound like much of a job but the curious thing is that this 1-2 hour task on click mechanic is coming in at nearly £400!!
Car is approaching 100,000 miles so expect it may have been done once in its lifetime.
I'm in the process of a top end rebuild on one of my cars so feel I'm more than capable of filling or replacing a bag. Does anyone have experience of this to let me know where the tank is and why the click mechanic cost is so high?
Any advice?

It's under the car, near side rear just in front of the rear wheel. Filing is easy enough, but as you say needs a decent scanner to reset the level / fault.

Make sure you get the correct additive for your vehicle and you will need a professional level diagnostic to reset the additive counter. If you need to know the correct type and whether it's a pouch or reservoir, you'll need to provide your VIN. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

Thanks.
I’ve identified 2 plastic covers under the vehicle so expect to find the tank under the appropriate side.
My VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

You’d replied to my question:
So was hoping for your reply once I posted my VIN. You’ll see I did that further up.Make sure you get the correct additive for your vehicle and you will need a professional level diagnostic to reset the additive counter. If you need to know the correct type and whether it's a pouch or reservoir, you'll need to provide your VIN.

No problem, it's probably because of the 11 day delay in replying to my original request, so I only looked a the last few posts as I don't always have time to keep going back through threads.
So you have a reservoir based system, and require Powerflex additive.

I guess I should have tagged you in when I replied a couple of days after your original post. Will do so next time. Let me know what you find out.
