Hi and welcome.

I don't know for certain but there are those here who will but I think you will need Eolys fluid for your C3, not AdBlue.
Filling is more involved unfortunately.

Post your VIN and someone will look up the details of your car and advise on the correct fluid - there are several options and some are incompatible with others.

You will also need access to a diagnostic computer to reset the fluid level.

Yes, as Steve says, this is not the AdBlue, it is the Diesel; additive that needs topping up. You will have wither a pouch or a tank and this is located near rear next to the fuel tank. Once we have you VIN we'll be able to confirm what type it is and whether a tank or a soft pouch.
