Particle filter additive too low

[richarda]

Hi All
Firstly many thanks for all the help here.
My VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
Variant on V5 document: UA9HR8
My car is a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 HDI VTR+ 2011.
I attach a picture.

Yes, you require Powerflex additive for this vehicle.

Final update on this.
The fluid arrived and I added it down the filler pipe that I had decoupled underneath as per the pictures in previous comment (The blue connecter end)
The fluid came with a convenient end piece that fits the filler pipe without leaking.
Was October 20th 2023

- no side effects so far. Unsure of mileage done but been to on a 200mile trip since then and several other 50, 100 miles trips + town driving.
Pictures attached.

...and you did reset the additive counter of course?

[richarda]

Yes - I reset the counter using the lexia diagnostic tool.

Looks good to me.

Interesting that Lexia still functions on a 2011 GP.

[GiveMeABreak]

This tends to be because it's a MK I and has the older EMS. Same with my 2009 X7, although DB launched automatically on my kit, it could still be used with the an original VCI and standalone Lexia software as my Citroen Service Manager friend had his own version.

I bought the lexia from Ebay around 2017. Cost about £50 back then, came with a box full of connectors. I have it installed on a ancient windows xp laptop. Works OK, bit slow to get going and very old skool. Does the job though saved me a fortune.
Pics attached.

2014 will be a refillable reservoir.

Hi! I am writing on behalf of my dad who drives Citroen C4 Picasso (2013 i believe) and he just got this error today. Could someone please suggest if he also has that refillable reservoir? Thank you! His vin is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Edit:
Should this be what he needs? eolys powerflex infineum f7995

Thanks in advance!

[Ivana]

I have been reading about this since yesterday.. so i hope now i understand better what i need to ask would be very thankful if someone could confirm this is the right stuff: BOSAL 258-977 for the vin i posted in the previous message. And another question.. should he go with 1l or 3l?
Thanks so much!!

Hi again!

Still hoping someone might be able to confirm, just to be sure we’re going in the right direction

In the meantime, my dad was able to check a few things using his diagnostics tool. It looks like the additive tank has a 1L capacity, and the clip is blue (see attached photos), which from what I’ve read, would point to Eolys PowerFlex.

So just to double check: would BOSAL 258-977 be the right replacement fluid for this setup? (vin posted in my previous message in this thread)

Really appreciate any help, thank you so much in advance!
