Hi everyone Got this to do on Monday it's a 2007 year. The description for both is fuel additive level and fuel additive circuit. So I'm guessing the additive tank might need topping. Is it a straight forward job?? Anything to look out for? Thanks in advance,

Yep fill it up at the rear subframe, Ford/PSA kits have everything you need. Then plug it in and tell the fuel additive tank it's been filled.
Nasty stuff is Eolys fluid, I always wear eye protection, sleeves and gloves! Careful when removing the pipe blanks as it will spit fluid at you!

Had one from another place the other day to reset additive tank. Couldn't work out why there was loads of fluid leaking, until opened the boot to find they had cut a hole in the top of the tank to refill !

I downloaded ForScan and used it with my existing ELM to reset the PCM on my wife's old CMax. From memory, there's an option to reset the FACM module, prime the system after filling, and then clear the codes. ForScan will prompt to key off and key on the ignition as necessary.
