RE: Another Adblue question

[Daire]

Hi, I've just bought a citroen berlingo van 2016 that needs adblue top up. But I've no adblue cap beside the diesel cap. Would anyone know where I could locate the adblue cap?

Does the manual not tell you?

No, it said its beside diesel cap but its not

[jj9]

I've no idea if the manual doesn't tell you.

There's videos on youtube of Citroen C4's with the filler cap in the boot area so may be worth a look on yours.

I've seen them videos it not there either, there's not much information on YouTube.

Thanks anyway

Are you sure it's an adblue van and not FAP? if there's no cap beside the diesel filler, it could be like mine and have a pouch of Eolys or PAT fluid inside an enclosure with a pump, under the van just in front of the drivers side rear wheel. It lasts 100k miles roughly, from new. A pouch of fluid is around £100 and is a click fit. The nozzle colour on the pouch needs to be the same, there were several versions.

They can be refilled but it's messy (apparently) with a refill kit. At 40k you should not be needing fluid for a long time unless the pouch has a leak.

Oh and you posted in the wrong section, your van is a B9. The M59 is the older shape.

Thanks a million for that info. You are right it's an FAP.

Thanks again ?

No worries buddy, glad to help. Btw each time you remove the fuel cap to fill up and put it back on, the system detects the cap being replaced and adds a shot of DPF fluid to the tank.

Just for clarity...

FAP & DPF are exactly the same thing, Diesel Particulate Filter.

Not all vehicles that have a DPF use adblue.

All vehicles that use adblue have a DPF.

All diesel euro 5 B9 models have the Eolys bag though, and all euro 6 models from 2015-16 onward will be adblue tanked. Sorry for the confusion over fap/dpf. Jj9 is of course, right.

I should have said PAT.
