Hi Paul,

As 7403406 suggests, your car is probably complaining of a lack of Eolys additive for the diesel particle filter, (FAP), in the exhaust. I say probably, because I think the error message should be 'Minimum level diesel additive', or something similar - not exactly sure as I've only seen it once on a car I was thinking of buying. It also had the particle filter blocked warning light on, but the handbook didn't describe it correctly. (this car was an 02 reg GTX).

If that's your problem, you need the tank refilled, and the counters in the additive ECU reset, for which the stealers tend to charge about £170 AFAIK. You can't simply top it up, with out the counters reset, the fault will still be there. Best not to leave it - there is a body of opinion which suggests the low level sensor in the additive tank will fail if left empty.

Have a look at this for a fuller explanation
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
