• Very good question. It was MOT'd in October but don't think that included service. I note the spanner service light is on.

    Edit: there owner pack is here, it was last stamped 2021 at nearly 12k miles. That doesn't mean defo no service since but could be the case.

    Edit 2: a printed invoice shows May '23 at 20164, it's now at 21418 so v.low usage since. Stored on drive not in garage.

    Attached is work done then, I need to translate but £311 to confirm sensors misfiring & clear error codes I think?

    Feels like a dodgy garage could rinse folks with all kinds of "fixes" on this? I'm not trusting, correct.

  • Have a universal code reader you can borrow. Have a version of the one code reader but not sure cable or software would work on that pug.

    Citroen/pug can be difficult to work on with out the proper lexia oe diagnostic kit.

    Is it a wet belt engine?

  • When I did about 500 miles beyond the service interval (holidays, forget to book service, etc) the warning triangle lit which gave me a fright. Got the service, warning disappeared, I assume due to the service interval reset.

  • Looks like they replaced the Nox Sensor... "Nox Sensor - Repl Nox Sensor - Cleared Fault Codes", which would explain the £311. I had mine replaced a few months ago on my Berlingo. Seems to be a common problem.

    You'll get a adblue warning light on the rev counter and possibly a EML, if it was an adblue problem. You can't really neglect the adblue. If its run out, it will tell you and give you a countdown in miles to the engine not starting.

    You should be able to read the codes with a normal reader to get somewhat of an idea. It's just usually certain functions you can't perform without lexia/diagbox. I bought a TopDon ArtiDiag800BT to use on my Berlingo after having to wait weeks for even a diagnostics appt at Citroen. Seems to be able to do most things, recently reinitialised part of the adblue system with it which seemed to fix an intermittent warning light.
