Ford Focus - Ford Focus 1.6TDCI 55 Plate - Eolys Fluid - 3puddings

Hi I suspect that my focus needs a Eolys top up, it is an expensive business taking it to the garage to do that, I have noticed that you can get it cheap on Ebay, but I need advice on how to find where the tank is and to carry out the procedure.

thanks

I would only use the genuine Ford fluid .It is about £200 for the 5litre refill kit ,but the car takes around 2.5 litres.Then you have the added problem of resetting the dpf system through the diagnostic system.The tank sits at the back of car by the rear axle beam.It is a very messy job as the fluid is like creosote.May be an idea to give Ford dealer a call as they often do a special offer on this job as they only charge for the fluid used.hth
