Hello all,
I have Peugeot 5008, details are...
- registered 2010 July
- Diesel 1560 cc
- Miles just under 65,000
I have just recently take it to a Peugeot garage for some work. They did a diagnostics and told me that my diesel additive tank is empty - needs topping up and reinitialised. They have quoted a rather high price for it - about £380
.
My questions are...
- according to the car handbook there should be a warning light in the dashboard if the additive tank is low. I have not got any kind of warning
. Why would that be - could the sensor be faulty. Is this something that only peugeot diagnostics kit can pick.
- I have contacted a number of different other / independent garages and each has given me a different story.
- Halford said they can do it at all as they do not have the equipment to do the reinitialisation.
- Kwik fit has said they can do it, but cost almost the same as what peugeot is quoting.
- another independent garage said that it will cost about £60 / litre of the additive and they can do the reinitialisation. Not sure how much of the fluid goes into the tank.
Can anyone shed any light what should I do.
- Should I not bother getting it topped up right now, given that there is no warning on the dashboard.
- Should I go ahead and get it done by peugeout. Or I try one of the independents.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
R
