C4 Picassos didn't, we had two; a 2010 then a 2013, neither had Adblue. Presume they fitted it to the new model? (2014 onwards).

As for the bag - what a bodge. nono
Since the bag is for Eolys fluid, and since Eolys degrades on contact with air the bag is both a simple and clever solution.

The reason they fill slowly is that there isn't a breather like there is on a fuel filler.

If you use the 20 litre tubs with the plastic filler neck it's easier as it doesn't seal around the filler.
I've got the proper VAG filler hose with an internal breather tube and that's incredibly slow filling from 5 or 10 litre containers. I think the main point of it is it stops overfilling, but it would be a lot easier to just chuck 5 litres in now and again using a funnel.
That's exactly what I do.

Could I just say I've got a similar problem locating mine been told by AA only got so much left and it needs topping up which could resolve some issues 1 position it could be just a cutout in the carpet and then the floor and the other 1 behind the seat which has a black cap popped it off and it's just a hole :/ do I have pics but not sure on how to submit

Blimey,I had forgotten this thread & the interest it caused.
Anyway,as per my post & pic on page 5, the adblue hole is in front of the off side 3rd row seat,it needs to be folded to be seen.
Stupid place when wielding a big bottle of the stuff,glad my Ford Tourneo replacement has it by the filler cap!(With a she-wee device to aid pouring)

That isn't for the AdBlue, that is for if you need to put fuel in from a container, it opens the flap for the capless fuel filler.

Love this thread!
And well done OP on showing us the result.
Girlfriend just called and I’ll probably be doing this in the dark tonight. Curses on local main dealer who did a major service for her last week!
But a great read everyone- thank you.

Just seen this thread and it reminded me of the 206 that my wife had for a while. It had isofix for a child seat, on the driver’s seat.

French cars!

I've never owned a diesel. Never owned a French car. I don't like the colour blue. And I can't add. Yet somehow I ended up on this old thread and it's provided a good 15 minutes of entertainment!

And DannyRoza6 with his "spose". Reminds me of the office moron I used to know 20+ years ago. He went out one lunchtime and took his time getting back. And when we asked where he'd been, he took his coat off to reveal a giant tattoo of a witch head on his arm in green with warts all over her nose, and a purple hat. We asked him why he got that, and he said he couldn't think what he wanted to he just picked it out of a book. He just wanted a tattoo and that was that.

We told him he was going to regret that very quickly, and his response was "spose..."

I presume it was essentially just a right-hand side front seat. So a common design seat that served as a passenger seat on a LHD car. No big deal.
