Firparnian Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 We have just had the same alarm on our Citroen c4 Picasso. Sometimes you can get away with just having the electronics reset but ours also started juddering, ended up having an engine flush and full 40000 mile service . Cost just under £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Many others on different forums talk about giving a good thrashing with some premium fuel. A lot can depend on age/mileage and quality of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 usually means the DPF in the exhaust is getting full or the additive is low, take it to Steve Plain on Thirlwell Rd, Heeley. Honest bloke and Pug specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-tech Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The most common thing on HDI engines that causes this message is the Particulate Filter, which could be faulty or in need of regeneration. If it needs regenerating it will most likely need the additive refilling too. An ECU scan should tell you what the dash message means. http://www.G-Tech.yolasite.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 oh dear doesnt sound good my husband has only ever run the fuel down till the light came on once and had to fill up at a total garage a lot of peeps blame total garages for dodgy fuel is this true? People blame Total, Shell, Esso, Jet, (insert your least favourite brand here...) but nobody ever seems to come up with hard evidence that one particular brand is worse than another. I used to live about 20 miles from a regional fuel depot. Most of the tankers from most of the major brands went there to fill up. They all filled up from the same pipes ...:hihi: If there's a tanker at a garage, or if I see a tanker leaving a garage I prefer not to fill up for a while, because if there is any sludge in a nearly empty tank and the tank is filled then the sludge/water /whatever will be stirred up and it will be an hour or two before the sludge settles to the bottom or any water separates. If you do get some of that sludge in your tank it shouldn't be a real problem - because most modern cars have fuel filters - but the fuel filter will clog more quickly.

alchresearch Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 A common problem, although not really a problem, just a service matter. Loads of advice on the Peugeot Central forum: http://www.peugeotcentral.co.uk/ One of several threads: http://www.peugeotcentral.co.uk/ftopic-12632.html Its nothing to do with fuel, or running the tank to empty - although I do think that smaller engined diesels aren't really suitable for small city pootling cars.
