Your FAP light turns on and you do not know what the malfunction is. The FAP is mainly present on cars Diesel, even if they are now found on petrol cars. Just before you get into repairs on the Renault Egeus, it remains essential to know what is the source of this problem. What is the role of a particle filter? Why does the indicator light come on? What can be the most common problems? During this dossier, we will go around the subject. 
What is a FAP used for on your Renault Egeus
As its designation suggests, it is used to filter microscopic molecules toxiques of the motor. The particles are so small that they easily enter our body. For your information, it is Peugeot who developed this particle filter. Your catalyst is used to reduce the dose of molecules produced by the vehicle, while the FAP collects the rest. It therefore seems essential to have a particulate filter in good condition if you do not want the Renault Egeus to contaminate the air you breathe.
Why the FAP indicator light on your Renault Egeus
The FAP of your Renault Egeus is clogged
This is the most common dysfunction. No wonder, your FAP clogs the more time passes. Molecules form clusters and hinder the evacuation of your exhaust gases. Ordinarily, the FAP in the Renault Egeus is supposed to be cleaned automatically and to remove this soot. However, if the latter is old it is essential to change it.
An electronic problem
The problem with the indicator lights is that you are not necessarily sure that there is a malfunction. In practice, it often happens that a warning light comes on while the Renault Egeus is running without problems. This FAP has several electronic sensors which transmit a message to the dashboard. If these sensors do not work well while your FAP is working properly, it is conceivable that your indicator light will go off.
What to do if the FAP indicator light on your Renault Egeus lights up?
Above all, it is completely forbidden to remove the particle filter on your Renault Egeus! This is punishable by law. You will need to check the sensors to see if they are working properly. If they themselves work perfectly, the problem comes from the FAP. If it is dirty, you have the possibility of cleaning it up by driving on a diet for about ten minutes. Do not accelerate too much, it could damage the vehicle. We advise you to drive at 3000 revolutions minutes. The heat of the vehicle can thus burn the encrusted dirt, and consequently release your FAP. If this manipulation does not work at all, it will have to be changed.
Conclusion:
A particle filter in poor condition will pollute as well as decrease acceleration. It is therefore essential to replace it. Post a comment if this text has ever been useful to you. Good walk !
