What is the use of a DPF on your Lancia Beta Spyder

As its name presages, it is used to purify microscopic molecules harmful of the motor. The particles are so tiny that they can easily enter through our body. For information, it is Peugeot who made the FAP. The role of the catalyst is to restrict the amount of molecules produced by the engine block, while the particulate filter collects the remains. It is therefore essential to have a particulate filter in good working order if you do not want this Lancia Beta Spyder to pollute the environment.

Why the DPF warning light comes on on your Lancia Beta Spyder

The DPF of your Lancia Beta Spyder is clogged

Here is the most common problem. No wonder your particulate filter gets clogged over time. The molecules pile up and thus hamper the circulation of your exhaust gases. Normally, the particulate filter in this Lancia Beta Spyder is supposed to be cleaned automatically and therefore remove this waste. On the other hand, if it is too damaged it is necessary to replace it with a new one.

An electronic problem

The concern with indicator lights is that you may not be sure you have a problem. In fact, it sometimes appears that an indicator light comes on although this Lancia Beta Spyder is running without problem. Your particle filter has electronic sensors that send the message to the warning light. If your sensors ever have a problem while your particulate filter is working properly, it is possible that the warning light goes off.

What to do if the DPF warning light on your Lancia Beta Spyder comes on?

First of all, it is completely forbidden to remove the fap on your vehicle! It is an offense. You are able to check the probes to see if they are working perfectly. If these work correctly, the fault is with the Particulate filter. If the latter is filthy, it can be cleaned by driving in the towers for 10 minutes. Do not go too high in the revs, it could damage the engine. We advise you to go up to 3000 revolutions minutes. The heat from the engine block can therefore carbonize the encrusted soot, and clean the particulate filter. If this procedure really does not work, you will need to replace it.

Your damaged fap will then pollute as well as make you lose power. It is then essential to take care of it. Leave us a comment if this file has helped you. Good walk !
