At PSA, there's a recurring problem with the AdBlue system. This is the AdBlue fault, indicating that you can't start the engine, followed by a countdown timer. The problem is well known on BlueHdi engines, and the reason why the operation to solve the fault is expensive for the manufacturer is as follows.

The main problem is that the AdBlue gauge is often faulty. This is located in the AdBlue tank, of course, since it provides real-time information on the AdBlue level in your Peugeot or Citroen. The operation itself is simple: ideally, the gauge should be changed and the job's done, except that... the gauge cannot be detached. It's totally inseparable from the tank, and the operation involves replacing the entire tank to restore the car's normal operation.

If you'd like to replace your tank directly at the manufacturer's to solve the AdBlue problem on your Peugeot / Citroen, then you'll generally need to allow several days for the vehicle to be immobilized and, above all, prepare around €1,300. This is the price to pay for the complete replacement of the tank and therefore the gauge, but it only solves the problem temporarily, as you can't be sure that the problem won't recur in the months to come.

There is a solution that we can offer you. Admittedly, it's not entirely legal, so it should only be used if you want to take your vehicle abroad to a country where the Euro 6 standard doesn't exist (e.g. Africa or the Middle East).

If you are geographically distant from our center in Normandy, we can also intervene. The operation is simple: just dismantle your engine ECU (usually located next to the vehicle's battery), and send it to us by the postal service of your choice. In return, we'll send it to you by Colissimo or Chronopost, depending on your requirements.
