C30 1.6D Engine service Urgent(DPF/ADM related)

[chunkytfg]

Hi all.

First poster so please forgive me for talking about what my searching shows is a much discussed topic.

Chain of events. (although I don't think first set of events relates to second but putting it out there incase someone knows more than me)

-Car driving fine on a 100mile trip from london to Norfolk
-Journey home went for an overtake on a country road and at 3000rpm engine cut out. Coasted to a stop and restarted engine.
-Found quiet stretch of road and revved it again and again same thing happened.
-Kept revs nice and low and started googling for answers.
-Google/ This forum Suggested Fuel filter and seen as I was due to service the car anyway bought one along with the other usual items for a service.
-before I had the chance to service the car it started holding revs at 3k instead of cutting out. Pulled cleanly up to 3k but then just stopped.
-Changed fuel filter and all went away and it worked fine.

-Refueled car and Engine service System Urgent message came up on dash along with Red warning triangle/light.
-More googling and I discovered the fact my car had a Eolys tank that needs topping up!
-So off to eBay I go and buy a refill kit and top the tank up. It took the whole litre of liquid!
-Car has at this point done 78,000 miles so as much as i'm happy to serve cars out on the road changing a DPF is a bit much so I book it in to a local DPF specialist who is going to replace the DPF for me.
-Drop car off and warn them the tank has been refilled and will need resetting when they do the diagnostic check so not to worry about quoting for a refill.

-That beings me to now. They have just rang and said the ADM module is showing up as faulty on there system and that its £460 for a new one plus fitting!

I've told them to not bother and i'll do it myself and get the code reset later on.

Having a search round here suggests that it could just be a case of unplug and plug back in!

Is it just a case of replace it and the fault code goes away along with the light or will it still need a plug into a VIDA system to be reset?
