Eolys Fluid Replacement

Unread post by ne8ryan »

Hey guys, previously posted about a P Level Low warning on my dash in my DS3, took it to a local garage and they informed me a main dealer has to service this part as he cannot get a hold of a replacement pouch,
any advice or should I just take it to the main dealer and pay the double the cost?

Also, already drove approximetaly 18 miles since the warning was shown however, do you think it will be safe to drive approximetely 315 miles combined if I cannot get it booked in before Monday as I need to go to a specialised hospital on Monday and it'll be detrimental to cancel the long awaited appointment, also will need to refuel again, would it be safe to do this?

Thanks.

Yes, as previously posted, it will be fine - probably for another 10,000 miles yet!

The bags were only only on early cars, post the VIN and we can check if it's a bag or refillable tank. Taking it to the dealer will be v expensive for this operation!

Hey Richard, that's excellent to hear.
I believe it's a pouch based system however,
VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I got quoted £120 to diagnose (check which fluid it takes) and additional £160 for the repair, which is crazy.
Also just found out that the vehicle has a recall for its airbags and any main dealer won't look at it until the safety recall has been amended.

@ne8ryan: You should be aware that your vehicle does indeed have an urgent aftersales campaign outstanding for airbag replacement since January 2025, so I suggest you book it in ASAP as these were part of the Takata Airbag fiasco - it's ref NQ3 and the work will be free of charge.

As for the Additive you require Powerflex additive and it is a pouch-based system.
