Post the youtube and your experience here too, so it can help anyone else make the same decision as there will be many more diesel C3s popping up with empty eolys/DPF/FAP tanks soon.

It may disappear after a few restarts, a few regenerations or a few days.Essa wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:42 pm update: installed the addivitive eosys powerflex pouch, but cant reset the message, I got diagnostic guy to use snap on and autel scanners.

It is unlikely. As far as I know, the system can only be reset by Lexia/diagbox, and regeneration can only occur once the system has reset.C3CAR wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 9:03 pmIt may disappear after a few restarts, a few regenerations or a few days.Essa wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:42 pm update: installed the addivitive eosys powerflex pouch, but cant reset the message, I got diagnostic guy to use snap on and autel scanners.

There is a lexia/diagbox topic here that has a lot of information on what is needed to actually run diagbox along with links to the products.

Safe, yes, no harm will come to the driver.
The eolys makes it possible for the DPF to regenerate at lower exhaust temperatures, typically found on short journeys, low speed runs like town driving.
I am sure it will survive till the 19th, particularly if it is more motorway and less town driving.
You can always force a regen, without computer intervention using the JLM Regen Plus that does the job of the eolys but its added to the tank manually by the driver. This bypasses the ECU and regenerates the DPF at lower exhaust temperatures (town driving).
