The light on your DPF lights up and you do not know where the problem is coming from. FAP is particularly found on cars Diesel, even if we find them today on gasoline cars. Just before trying to repairs on your Seat Fura, it remains necessary to know where the malfunction comes from. What is the role of a FAP? Why does the indicator light go off? What are the most regular concerns? In this text, we will go around the question. 
What is a FAP used for on your Seat Fura
As its name suggests, its role is to purify microscopic molecules toxiques of your engine block. These kinds of particles are so tiny that they can easily enter your body. Note that this is Peugeot who invented the FAP. The catalyst's role is to lower the dose of molecules emitted by the engine, and the particle filter collects the remains. It is therefore essential to have an operational particle filter in case you do not want your Seat Fura to contaminate the air you inhale.
Why the FAP indicator light on your Seat Fura
The FAP of your Seat Fura is clogged
Indeed, this is the most frequent concern. And that's normal, the particle filter becomes clogged the more time passes. Molecules pile up and hinder the proper circulation of your exhaust gases. In general, the particle filter on your Seat Fura is supposed to clean on its own and therefore eliminate clumps. Unfortunately, if the latter is damaged it must be changed.
An electronic problem
The problem with these indicator lights is that we are not sure that there is a problem. Indeed, it often happens that a warning light flickers while your Seat Fura works without problem. The particle filter has several electronic probes which send the signal to the indicator. If these probes have a problem while this particle filter is working properly, it is possible that your indicator light will come on.
What to do if the FAP indicator on your Seat Fura lights up?
First of all, it is completely forbidden to remove the particle filter from your Seat Fura! This is punishable by law. You should examine the sensors to verify that they are functioning properly. If they work perfectly, the malfunction comes from the FAP. If the latter is filthy, it can be unclogged by driving in the towers for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not climb too much in the towers, the process may damage the vehicle. We advise you to go up to 3000 rpm. The heat of the engine can in this way carbonize these stored dirt, and thus free your particle filter. If such a method is not suitable, it is necessary to have it changed.
Conclusion:
Your damaged particle filter should pollute as well as cause loss of power. It is therefore important to replace it. Leave us a comment in case our text served you. Good walk !
