Re: AdBlue dosing.
This is the obvious situation. The point, however, is that the regeneration is happening and failing often enough to raise the oil level by over 1 litre in less than 200 miles of motorway driving at 60/70 mph. That's 150 miles+ perhaps a couple of local shopping trips. This is a family car, not a l...

Re: DPF regen
50k+ miles now and no issues with the DPF on my D4 - Mine generally does a regen once every full tank of fuel (about 400 miles). You will hear when its doing a regen as the engine cooling fan will be on maximum and there is indication of a very hot activity going on. If i hear the fans at full I jus...

Re: Paint crack issue
Hail can certainly cause damage - here in France we had a major storm back in June that took peoples roofs and wrote off cars from the hail - in some cases the size of golf balls. Our cars both suffered damage, the OH's Citroen had over 300 dents that were removed by PDR (Paintless damage repair). M...

Re: power steering failure
The electric power steering is powered by the secondary battery that also manages the stop/start. It often gives up from lack of car use and take a long time to start working again (after more car use / charging) Check the secondary battery.

Re: Random electrical gremlins?
Funny as I was just logging in to update.... Yesterday, our car failed once again - heated seats not working and heater/blower stuck on maximum. I've called the dealer yet again and they've not even bothered to call me back (Lookers Colchester). I'll call customer service yet again on Monday but th...

If the car is only used for short runs occasionally then this battery can start playing up and the display starts showi...
