DS5 paf tank location

Unread post by Bungle1983 »

I have searched the forum, but couldn’t find anything specific to the ds5.

I’ve got the refill kit, before I waste my time jacking up the wrong side, is it driver or passenger side (uk, right hand drive)

I’m lead to believe they’re at the rear of the car, near the exhaust.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure on your car but on our cars the additive tank has been at the rear left. You could look with a mirror before jacking up to check. To stop any low level messages it will need a diagnostic to tell the car how much has been put in since the level is not measured, just calculated.

It's here on the rear left but you'll first need to remove the heat shield protection to gain access:

Rear left as in if I’m stood at the back of the car, it will be on my left? I jacked my car up and was taking the undertray off, didn’t look like it was there. I shall look again at the weekend.

Always in the same place - but hidden behind the shielding / protection.

Yes, nearside rear, so your left as you stand behind the car facing the boot. I think that covers it!

Absolutely, thank you. I was taking the undertray off and wondered why I couldn’t see it. Must be under the heatshield.
