i already get the feeling from a few google searches that this has probably been discussed to death but ive read - and im still confused
people have said with the antipollution fault that they get the engine warning light, then the car goes into 'limp' mode of 2,500rpm max but i dont get any of that (thankfully!) all that happens is the message flashes up once after i start the car and goes away for the duration of the journey. is it worth just ignoring?
On your petrol engine if it's performng ok otherwise and not guzzling petrol unduely then leave it alone (unless you really want to ebmark on code reads and replacing random parts untill it's sorted).

did some searching and saw an old topic viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4727&p=45769&hilit=ecu+code#p45769 is it worth just doing the same and leaving the ecu plug disconnected for half hour? and would the plug be under that big black cover on the left? is it clear which plug it is?
Anti pollution fault on the Diesel is expensive news but on the petrol it can be just a 'soft' fault.
Someone else on here had this fault on a petrol I'm sure but it came to nothing really important.
If you go to Peugeot they will charge £60.00 ish for a 'Global Test' and if you get a decent 'technician' he will pin point the fault in no time but if you get the "I don't care" man then they will try to replace the ECU, the Engine, Bodyshell, wheels.........
A good independant place with the most up to date diagnostic equipment should be able to help too but as I said if it's not drinking fuel or missfiring etc then you may just leave it I suppose
Great getting a new car isn't it?

Yup, that's why I asked.
Get it occasionally when starting, but the engine mgt light goes out, nowt to worry about.
If it comes up for a few consecutive starts and the engine management light stays on with it then you need to be thinking about getting it checked out.
I've had the antipolution fault (for several starts) twice, the first was the EGR valve (£272), the second was a Oxygen sensor, came on when the weather was very wet one day, then went away again when it dried out. I've cleared the fault code and it hasn't come back yet.... *Leans on Ikea immitation wood desk *.
