Soot levels low . That's good 7 g. Take it that'd be grams

I see the typo ,, was 60 miles really wasn't it lol

Nope, it was literally 6 miles a day, to and from school when schools shut at 1pm due to the heat. I don't deal with heat well due to my meds and being ginger! My car isn't ginger but it still hurt her. £3000 later, you won't find another C8 as mechanically sound as mine....... should of waited, that Xantia V6 looks awesome!!!!

3k your car is sound , you know the car inside out , I'd say that was money well spent .

Yes, g for grammes as far as I know

I'll try and get the Greg 308 (that's had the risk of blocking messages) codex read tomorrow.

Diagbox laptop on charge, ready for tomorrow

Hmmm, completely silent red 308 this morning - no radio, sat Nav or parking sensor noises at all!?!

Has somebody pointed a universal remote control at the car and hit the "Mute" button?

Odd , any idea whats caused it ?

I think it was working yesterday, so the only thing that could have upset it is the Diagbox session yesterday afternoon.

My joke aside, could you have pressed the MUTE button on the audio system? I know with some audio systems MUTE affects everything that runs through it.

No, sadly it's not that.

On this car mute is what you get tapping the centre console volume knob for off and same action from pressing the left volume scroller on the steering wheel (which is marked mute, confusingly!)

I'll get it on Diagbox again shortly

[Huskyxantia]

Do you think you could of blown a fuse ?

[MattBLancs]

Do you think you could of blown a fuse ?

I guess it's possible, but nothing I'm aware of to trigger it (e.g. nothing plugged into cigarette lighter socket etc)

The touchscreen is behaving as normal (sat Nav visible, parking sensor/camera screen functions look ok on screen. It's receiving audio / RDS info as it was telling what was playing/ program info etc.

Anyway, Diagbox not plugged in as...


... Though the forecast was for heavy rain which never materialised. So I've set to and dug my way to the DPF additive tank location. Brief detour as thought it was on the right hand side = nope!

Yep I can confirm
Don't look here:

3x 10mm to remove a cover that didn't need to come off

But can look here:

So, having reached the tank, disconnecting the hose connector:

• on tank connection= "overflow" connection
• Hose connection= route in for the new fluid

Put an empty bottle on the overflow and the new full bottle on the other. Raise and invert the full bottle and let it glug in under gravity. Thus felt link a VERY long time to lie on your back holding the litre bottle at arms length!

Place your bets, Diagbox reported tank as being full, how much of the litre went in?

Spoiler: show

are you having a guess then?

Spoiler: show

giving up?

Spoiler: show

fair enough!

ALL of it!

Well done, ive done the same job twice and know how it feels. The fastest and easiest was a 207 as that was a pouch.

Ha ha! I should be a pro at this now! 206, C5, the grey 308 SW and blue 308 SW have all needed a top up of this stuff. Still seem to end up with it half way up my arm despite best efforts not to end up wearing it

Think was slightly less on the floor this time around, so perhaps I am getting a little more efficient


Not tackled a pouch type yet
