307 FAP filter and oil spending problems

I would guess the FAP filter requires unblocking or "regenerating". This can only be done at your dealers as it requires the use of the Diag tool. The cerine fluid here in the UK is around £28 a litre, which is around 41 Euros. Should only need refilling at 120.000 km theoretically, but I have known them to need it earlier.

Don't forget there is 2 types of cerine fluid (dpx 42 @ 80,000 km (50,000 miles) ) or 176@ 120,000 km (72,000 miles)). If you brought the vehicle in

2002 and it had 70,000 on the clock ,using logic the vehicle must have dpx 42 which is 80,000 km service intervals NOT 120,000 km... all the best mark

Absolutely. I would personally "guess" the 120K type, but as 2002 is quite close to the change over period, the only safe thing is to go by build code. You must NOT mix them!!

Out of interest what dealer do you work at nigel ?

Errr, I don't think I want to divulge that on here. When I first posted to this NG, must be three years now, it was advised to stay as anonymous as possible, which is why I have never said where I live or where I work, or even give a true email address. My name IS Nigel though!!! Why do you want to know anyway?

EERRR..... it's up to you ??? ,can't see what difference it makes saying what dealer you work at ??? . I can understand not saying where you live for obvious reasons ????(it goes w/o saying).Why do you want to know anyway?

Warners ? the one where john dean (ex product service works/ed) i don't know your m.t. by his nickname but if his name is Mike Bird i spoke to him a while ago on the m.t chatroom helping with a minimum level additive coming up on the m.f.s. just after the p.e.f and the cerine was replaced ! speak soon nigel mark......

Mike Bird has been made redundent! One of the many managerial decisions that have been made in the Warners Group that probably shouldn't have been. But who am I to question? I just keep my head down and get on with my job, and leave the decisions to those above!

Its scarey stuff ......but i agree keep your head down down and get on with it!!. I hate seeing anyone lose their job..i think its the same everywhere mate...speak soon.
