Well, I've been eBay searching over the weekend; no reasonably-priced Infineum F7995 in sight!

There is, however, a fair number of listings of PAT Fluid DXP42/176. Now, by my reckoning and having digested this thread, our cars once were filled with 176 -- which begat F7995 "as it was cheaper" -- but we can't mix DXP42 with F7995 but we can mix 176 with it....

The equation doesn't unravel logically. Or am I missing something...?

To add to the experience data... I refilled my Eolys tank today after having the low FAP fluid level warning on start-up for about a week.

On the basis of the cars' RPO 10808 the fluid should be 176 with the green quickfit connection. So thats what I bought, from Germany, as a 3 litre kit with the relevant connections etc. for £79.

Dave,

Touch wood, I've had no issues with the glow plugs. The car starts on the button in winter.

Running the C6 is definately a bit of a journey though..and my next destination is called "cambelt change" but I think I'll wait till the sun is shining next year before I visit

Hi Frank ,
It's a bit of a pain really! I was going everywhere for help and advice to try and sort the answer. I found the white connection and that confused me more than anything. My only issue was a depollution warning message that brought the orange engine light on. But the car drove and accelerated normally. I thought it might be bacause I filled up with the wrong fluid, but it was more to do with short trips in the end. so after a few long motorway trips, all settled down again. Cars has been fine for the last 3500mls now. My next issue is the Glow plug relay appears not to be working, or so lexis says!!

Has anybody changed the glow plug relay yet, God knows where it is!

It's below the ECU, unbolt it and it's a small relay on the left side. Probably the issue is you have some glow plugs that are gone. Check them first.

Would you believe it, I just emailed a colleague today regarding whether a special tension device was needed when changing the cam belt. I was quoted around €720 by Citroen last year, I believe with parts and labour (thats part of the fixed priced servicing). But now that I think of it, it probably sounds to good to be true. Even with the glow plug relay reporting an issue the car starts well. I do have a new Citroen battery (the expensive one) in place since May. The cold morning starts will prove interesting.

I keep having to retire during the showery spells!

I'm just following the Sealey PDF and the CCC tutorial, Dave.

Mine seems to have been replaced at some point in its life, as it's a 'Dayco' kit (which, coincidentally, I bought to do the job!); I'm thinking that the Dayco kit is AM and not OEM. The old belt is OK but looking a tad stressed when inverted. There's nothing at all untoward with the old idlers, tensioner or water pump though.

At least I can now rest easy as I have a documented change. She's now 105k-miles and 9½ years old...
