Was there any water in the filter housing? If not it will probably be a sensor fault, water in the filter could stop the flow of fuel if there is enough of it. If there wasn't you could either ignore it, get a Lexia on it or change the sensor.

I'm not familiar with the sensor on those I'm afraid someone else will have to give you that info. You would be able to see water in the fuel if it was there, if you swill it about it doesn't mix with the fuel and when you empty it you will see droplets of water in the bottom of the housing.

Re: Citroen c3 picasso 2012 diesel
I think the ‘risk of diesel filter glogging’ message is referring to the DPF on these cars & is telling you to regenerate it.
Double check the hanbook but i have a feeling the second message is referring to the DPF.

I would suspect a faulty sensor, you could try disconnecting the lead and see if it goes off. My mother had a 205 diesel many years ago and that often showed water in the filter but I don't think there ever was.

Re: Citroen c3 picasso 2012 diesel
The Lexia (DiagBox) equipment consist of specific hardware to connect to the diagnostics port and software to allow a LOT more access to the ECUs (you also need a laptop, running Windows 7 32bit). Most generic code readers cannot do much where PSA vehicles are concerned. If you decide to get a Lexia clone (the real Lexia equipment is only available to PSA in-house technicians) make certain to get one that can be used on C5/C6 cars (some of the cheaper clones have a reduced component set, and will not work with certain cars). I have an earlier Lexia clone (version B; they are now up to version C), and I have found it to be very useful.

It connects to the laptop via USB port (and is powered through the USB port). I can provide you with a link to where I got my (older) one from (several years ago), but I don't know if they ship to Israel.

They also sell the kit with a refurbished Dell laptop (that will work and also has workshop manuals for both Citroen and Peugeot up to 2014 models);

If they do ship to Israel (best to check first) you may be eligible for the discount scheme (but this is at the discretion of the Forum staff; I am NOT forum staff), as you have been a member for a while now. Here is the link for the discount;
