The DPF warning light is on indicating the fluid requires topping up at 140000mls. Main dealer said I require new DPF for just £800 plus. If I get them to top up the fluid and extinquish the warning light, can I then get the filter cleaned and would it work?

Why not have it done elsewhere the DPF can be purchased for under 200ukps and is a quite easy job to change, at 140000 miles it will be pretty sooted up.The eloy fluid is very expensive but can be purchased at a number of outlets the only problem is turning the light out this requires the Citroen computer I forget the name although they are identical mechanics Peugeot use a different computer interface program named Planet as do Ford.
