Citroen C8 losing power
Our Citroen C8 2.2 diesel (2008 model) has developed an intermittent loss of power, which triggers the engine management light to activate and a DPF filter fault to be displayed on the dash.
Our local Citroen dealer has recently replaced the fuel sensor and related injector rail; however, the fault has again surfaced and due to daily motorway family commutes this irregular loss of power can be quite alarming. Any idea what's causing this?

This has an Eolys fuelled DPF so I would guess that the Eolys fluid is depleted and needs replenishing and I can't figure out why this has not been realised by the Citroen dealer.
