2011 Peugeot 308 e-HDI DPF fluid

Unread post by KD1992 »

Hi all, I had the diesel particulate fluid message pop up after putting some diesel in a few days ago. I'm not sure which fluid my car needs and I'm not sure if I have a tank or a pouch. I work nights and long hours so I don't really have time to get under my car to check until my day off on Thursday and I've got a long drive next week so need to get it sorted. I've checked on Peugeot Planet and it's showing the level as low and code P15B3. It's also showing my last regen at over 700km ago though.

If I post my VIN would someone be able to help me please?

Thanks
Kyle

Ok, so you have an additive tank, not a pouch and your require Powerflex Additive for this build date.

Stick a minimum 1 litre in and reset the additive counter.

Just search Google or Ebay for powerflex or your dealer - (but they will charge more).

Ok prices will vary because of the size (1 to 3 litre generally), brand and whether they have the filling kit or not.
