Citroen C8 Eolys Fluid

TOTTY

the screen in my c8 says diesel additive minimum level so contacted citroen dealer and they quoted £500-£600 to fix it. all that needs doing is the eolys fluid needs topping up. this cost £32 a litre and i need 4-5 litres.
i have found a potetial cheaper alternative (free actually) and am unsure if i can use it. its called adblue and is made of 67.5% distilled water and 32.5% urea and is for the same job as eolys fluid-to cut emmissions from car.
does anybody know anything about this as i have been searching web for 2 days and can't find any answers.

thanks

Afraid I can't help you with your question but you may have more look posting the same thing in Motoring

Also, pink font on white background? My eyes, they hurt, i had to highlight what you'd said to read it

As these are the same vehicles as the Fiat and Peugeot's have you tried their dealerships

Where you get your info about Adblue? Has anyone tried adding it as cheap alternative to EOLYS?
I have a 206 HDi 1.6 engine, the additive tank is empty and I fear may be doing damage to the small pump.

Totty, if you still have this car, what solution to diesel particulate filter have you got?
