I am a mechanic and take exceptional insult to this as you admit the fluid is toxic, do you know how toxic? if you did you wouldnt be doing it yourself

This is a little tricky Mike. I have just done it today! The Tank of eyols fluid is under the car behind the passenger seat.You need to jack the car up as high as you can on the near side.The higher the better. The first problem is finding a solid jacking up point? I used bricks , axel stands and pieces of wood + trolley jack. Once up and secure the job is a doddle. There is a small black plastic cover 6" squarish covering the filler pipe to the tank which has to be removed. a plastic stud + a small bolt holding this on. The fluid comes with a kit which is self explanitory if you are a diy car repairer! (No Instructions come with the kit/fluid) Press the sides of the pipe connector and pull. Once removed push the pipe in your kit onto this connector and let the fluid run into the tank. Warning. When full it just overflows, so watch out cus its toxic and will mark your skin. I got some on my hair and I now have streaks. This is a TWO man job as you need someone to hold the bottle in the kit, while the fluid is flowing, while you are underneath waiting for it to overflow.(There is a tap on the bottle that comes with the kit.) Peogeot have the monopoly on EYOLS fluid £35 ish per ltr. I bought 3 ltr Kit and used approx half. If you do the job yourself you will have saved £300/£400. Its a RIP OFF from peogeot, for a job that would take them 15mins with a ramp. The brain will still show the top up problem on the dash, but so what! I can accept the ding everytime I start the car knowing that I have saved a fortune and not been RIPPED OFF by Car Mechanics. Good Luck.
