Peugeot 307 Diesel Additive - Buy in Australia?

Do you plan to refill the tank yourself? Or are you going to get a third party to do the work?

If you do the work yourself, I’ll be interested in how difficult you think that it is. And if you take photos, posting them on here is always appreciated.
 
Hello 505604 - having done by 3rd party in conjunction with a partial auto transmission oil change - seems today is "fluids day".
 
I'm in the same boat with my 308 Ehdi the eolys tank is cracked I'm going to try plastic weld the tank but most likely I'll be buying a new tank as for the fluid i found these guys https://www.dpfguru.com.au/
they're in Australia
 
Refilling a tank model is a simple job, but needs Diagbox to reset. You can get a filter cleaned at many truck-oriented places, or, if you can handle a dreadful mess, DIY.
 
Update - DPF additive tank topped up by 3rd party repairer, but they were unable to reset tank parameter and remove dash warning in Diagbox. Back to the dealer network for this next week.

I don't know if I'm surprised or not that the 3rd party was unable to reset the warning light, etc.

I had the system on my 307 filled and reset by the dealer, but not by my 'local' one. (They can't even tell me which computer system it has to be hooked up to.)

I rang around a few dealers and got prices, from memory, ranging from about $550 to over $1000. I went to the $550 dealer, which thankfully wasn't too far away. And when I came to pay the bill, they charged me $491. It had taken less time than the 'book' allowed for the job. I was happy that they were honest.

Cheers,
Andrew

Do you have a local plastic welder? Or is this something that you're going to attempt yourself?

I've seen really expensive plastic welding kits but also cheap kits at Jaycar, I think. Our local plastic welder in Wagga Wagga closed down at least 7 years ago and I've often wondered about the cheap kits.

I've had a lot of stuff plastic welded by a guy on the Gold Coast when I lived down there.
I watched him do it a few times as well so feel I'm up for the Pepsi challenge lol
I'm also onto a new tank $180 from uk no shipping

I'm also following a post someone posted they can remap the engone also deleting the dpf and egr if I delete the dpf from the map and also the whole eolys system I'll just add another product direct to the fuel each time i fill up
I'm up for that but it's got to be the right price bit over the whole fap tank in the vehicle
 
After you pay for the illegal work and buy 160,000 km worth of tank stuff, there won't be much saving from a rare additive top-up. If anything goes wrong there won't be much of an opportunity for recourse.

Over a 1/4 of a million km's and 10 years I had to do it once. Took about an hour to refill the tank.

Driving the diesel with 1000km's per tank saved me way more than 1 hour in 10 years queuing at bowsers.

That's why I drive a diesel !

Cheers

Okay, I'm really interested in what equipment you're going to use to do the welding.

I'm not so interested in getting rid of the DPF etc. I hope to sell my 307 in the near future; I prefer my 406. I just need to get a bit better at sourcing some parts. The poor thing is getting old!

Cheers,

Before 2010 vehicles use eolys 176. After 2010 they use power flex.

Best place to buy the product is from eai.

They now supply a brand of fluid and after market pouches from a very good Spanish brand called 3RG. This brand sells a lot of psa parts. Especially hard to find like pulleys.

The 3rg fluid comes in a 3L kit and can be purchased for under $200.

They also sell replacement 3rg pouches in case your car has the pouch instead of hard plastic tank and the pouch is also leaking and can't be refilled it can be cheaply replaced.

AdBlue is an scr system fluid. It must never be added to a dpf additive tank or pouch. AdBlue goes in later model blue hdi diesel motors 2015 onwards in a seperate tank at rear of car. Early models 2015 the filler was under the 3rd row seat carpet. This tank is refilled every 15-20"000 as part of a service. It is contained in a pressurized tank that Is also heated to prevent it from calcification and blocking the injector that sprays it into the exhaust.

The dpf pouch additive or eolys is a fuel borne catalyst. It is pumped up into the fuel tank sender unit and mixed with the diesel. Early models had a fuel cap sensor and magnets on fuel cap which detect cap removal for filling fuel so it will automatically inject a certain amount of additive into the fuel tank each time it's filled.

This mixture of additive and fuel is burned. Once it is burnt it forms a metallic residue inside the dpf filter which assists low temperature regeneration preventing cars dpf from having to get so hot Like cars without an additive system for dpf. If a dpf is removed this gold like dust can be seen trapped within filter.

A car that has run out of the cerium eolys fluid will always suffer dpf clogging or powerloss issues and when this occurs it's best to check the additive tank or pouch with refillable bladder bags are empty or full. It's likely they will be empty if your car is logging dpf faults for blockage. Many mechanics have cleared the additive low message on the dashboard without refilling the tank. Or one just yesterday I removed a dpf additive tank on an x7 C5 wagon 2008 with the refillable tank due to having an open circuit pump failure fault. High KMs on car but again I was shocked to discover the tank was filled with ammonia home brew AdBlue. Having Peugeot Citroen specialist mechanic repair history also suprised me.

This system is unique to the PSA brand. Some other euro brands who used Ford PSA alliance engines used the system for a few years but ended up going away from it and just using a diesel injector in exhaust to allow for regeneration.

AdBlue is injected with an atomiser injector directly into the exhaust before the catalytic converter dpf unit.

Eolys or dpf fluid is pumped up into the diesel tank to mix with fuel and burned to form the metallic residue for better dpf regeneration.

Don't put AdBlue in the dpf additive tank or pouch as AdBlue isn't meant to be added to the diesel and burned. And it will cause major engine issues with the car. Only 2014- 2015 BLUE HDI motors onwards have both an AdBlue tank at rear of car and also a dpf additive tank or pouch to the left or right rear side under the fuel tank . dpf additive fluid or eolys only needs to be topped up every minimum 130/000km then again after another period of that KMs approx.

AdBlue is refilled each service.
 
Coles Lismore and Cullens Nambour are the only decent local dealers. The former 200km and the latter 100km from Brisbane
