The C5 says anti-pollution fault every now and again, usually for no reason.
Mine did it yesterday, and I mightily ignored it.
At the fourth restart of the engine, it went away.

Well before you can go any further you need to get the alternator running also the oil light. Just out of curiosity have you checked the oil pressure because if its down it could lead to a seizure or partail seizure of the engine. if its the top end then it will snap the belt.

If your not getting 14.4 volts when its running then youl get a lot of problems of the various sensors on a c5 so sort your electrics out first. can you turn the engine over by hand and have you got a scanner

NEVER remove a battery from a car when its running as you will blow the output diodes in the alternator.
