sounds like your particle filter in your exhaust might be blocked.Not 100% sure on Citroen same symptoms on Peugeot there is a pressure sensor before and after the cat measures exhaust pressure if cats blocked with soot you get hi reading before the cat usually.causes anti polution message hope this helps.
