Citroen C4 Picasso AdBlue problems and delete
A diagnostic check on a C4 Picasso or Grand Picasso showing "anti-pollution system faulty" is £100 + VAT. When the AdBlue system turns out to be the cause, you can choose a dealer repair or our £330 + VAT delete.
Your options for the C4 Picasso
| AdBlue delete | Dealer or SCR specialist repair | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £330 + VAT | Dealer quote; not a service we offer |
| Where | At your home or workplace | In the dealer's or specialist's workshop |
The same message can be set by the DPF, the DPF additive or a sticking EGR valve, so the codes decide which column applies. If you have a C3 Picasso with this warning, book the same check and we'll find the source.
What an AdBlue delete changes on the C4 Picasso
Citroen tends to show "anti-pollution system faulty" or "depollution system faulty" in place of a separate AdBlue warning. If the codes on your Picasso point to the SCR system, the delete stops the ECU dosing and monitoring AdBlue, clears the faults and removes any countdown.
Is it worth it on a C4 Picasso?
If your Picasso is a BlueHDi, bear in mind that Citroen and Peugeot BlueHDi models are known for AdBlue tank and heater faults, and a new tank isn't cheap. At £330 + VAT, the delete usually costs far less than the repair.
If you'd rather keep the system working on your Grand Picasso or C4 Picasso, you'll need the failed part replaced, and our diagnostics tell you which one to get quoted for.
AdBlue delete or a dealer repair for a C4 Picasso?
The delete is the cheaper fix at £330 + VAT, while a dealer or specialist repair keeps the AdBlue system working. Our diagnostics show which part has failed, so you can compare the two.
Is a C4 Picasso AdBlue delete legal?
For off-road and export use, yes. For a Picasso used on UK roads it isn't, and we won't carry it out on one. Our guide to whether an AdBlue delete is legal explains why.
What does the £330 + VAT cover on a Picasso?
Coming out to the car, reading the codes, turning the AdBlue system off in the ECU and clearing the faults. You see the clear dash before we leave.
Will the delete stop the Picasso's countdown?
Yes, the countdown is removed when the system is switched off. If the car has already hit zero, tell us when you book so we know to come to it.
