If you drive your car more likely for short distances then engine will not get hot enough to start the regenerating process to clean the cloged particulate filter resulting in a antipollution fault.
Drive your car to a motorway or empty dual carriage way (best in nights). The temperature meter should be showing above 60°C when you begin with this process. Place 3rd gear and drive your car at 3000-3500 rev /min for 15 to 20 minutes to let the ecu to kick the regeneration process. Keep driving car for 15 minutes in this state will be enough to clean your catalytic converter and your problem will be solved. But if it doesn't then the problem is with your catalytic converter and more probabily you need to change it.

SOURCE: anti pollution light is on
clogged emission system could just be a line up to the whole exasut system
Testimonial: "Thankyou. Have been reading some reports of weird and wonderful things costing hundreds!!!"
SOURCE: where is the anti pollution filter on a citreon
its in series in the exhaust system, but check you have particulate fluid in the vehicle first before replacing the filter

hi.under the car,ther is a ground wire,between the chassi and the exost,it shoud be conektet in the near of the catalysator.probobly this is off,try to reconect.
SOURCE: hi my renault megane scenic has the engine light
Hi i think the problem is one of the coils ( very common on renaults ).
The shaking is the engine missfiring.
Because of the missfiring the emissions are not correct which brings on the engine light.
If you are able to get a diagnosis ( code reader ) done on the car it will tell you which coil is gone
I hope i have been of some help to you
