Re: Dpf problem
It's nothing to do with AdBlue - the warning relates to the Eolys additive fluid for the DPF which needs topping up and the additive counter needs resetting in the engine ECU. You'll need a dealer, or a garage to do this for you with professional level diagnostic equipment.
Adblue is the UREA solution used in vehicles fitted with an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system to treat NOx emissions. DPFs treat the particulate matter.
Older vehicles only had had the DPF system, more recent Diesels have both systems and they perform different functions. If you have a BlueHDi vehicle you'll have both systems.
