Pat filter Low

Post by Nufcchris40 »

Hi all Chris here just joined tonight,
I’ve recently just purchased my first ever Citroen, it’s a c4 Picasso VTR + 1.6 hdi,
I’ve had it 4 weeks now and just noticed yesterday that on the digital display when I go to start the car it’s saying pat filter low, after about a minute if goes off.
So I’m wanting to get this sorted as soon as possible as I found it what it does haha, I rang somewhere local to me actually euro car parts and he said I would need to find out if my car had the bag installed or is it the one I can just top up with fluid and a fluid filling kit.
I was literally clueless, so I’m asking yous guys to help me out here.
How do I find out this?? Thanks Chris

Bung your VIN in a post so your car can be identified and fitted equipment discerned - the VIN will be masked, only staff can see it.
We usually recommend avoiding ECP, they are quite unreliable for most things - you may be lucky but you would be one of a select few.
My son has just had problems with his car, still stuck in the garage as ECP delivered the wrong parts - again.
Welcome to the FCF and may all your troubles be little ones :)

Yes, also in the cutout on the nearside of the windscreen, at the bottom.
