Off to Cornwall, fault or not! I'll take another lappy and a pen drive with Lexia files, have a go at installing on that one....

as long as you don't go into limp mode I cant see what harm it will do.

sure I saw it the other day, will go have a play now and see if I can find it.

I guess the place I went was "top of the class" as I have not seen any errors since having it done (cost £275).

Clicky, is your DPF filter and FAP tank still in situ?

Click to expand...

No Its been physically removed exhaust goes from manifold straight to middle box!

I have seen the regenerate option in lexia but not a removal option!

when my eng Man Light comes on and i plug in lexia it doesn't show any errors that i can see that relate to DPF??

bit weird really

Only got 2 errors left on there now.
Glow plug error and i think the other is injector related.

When the management light comes on - always after a load of smoke from the exhaust, there's a power loss, yes. But not much.

What since it's been done or before?

The option in Lexia was particulate filter - present or absent

The was already done when I got it.
will plug in lexia 2moro and see if i can remove it.

was contemplating seeing if you had a Fap system and fitting one!

Maybe it is a non FAP model from factory?

In that case why would screend come up DPS faulty, management light go on and yet no error codes be registered?

just doesn't make sense.
plus the exhaust pipe looks like it has 'joined' where the fap was!

Is the particulate filter marked as present in Lexia?

Can't remember will look tomorrow.

Both before and after FAP removal, smoke followed by the beep of doom, management light on, anti-pollution fault...

Made it to Cornwall, complete with error light on for last 200 miles. Puff of smoke when overtaking a truck in 5th, then a while later on the overrun on it came. Bugger.

What baffles me is that P0413 is a petrol fault. Maybe I'll take that fuse 16 out tomorrow...

Did you find that option? (Only just installed LEXIA on this laptop, as really down here in Cornwall house hunt checking, which SWMBO thinks more important...)

Don't have the LEXIA 347 update here on trusty pendrive - any thoughts as to where it can be got or is it even necessary?

Will try 345 on car in the morning. Thanks...

Any version of Lexia should be okay.

I think the option is in bsi then look in configuration then manual configuration.

I had a play with one I'm doing up over the weekend and I turned the particulate filter to absent to see if would ignore the filler cap sensor error which was bringing up the engine management light up. It didn't cure it though this car has not had the dpf written out of the software.

Thanks, Lexia working properly now - like you I've just marked the particulate filter "absent" in the BSI.

There are three (I think) faults in swirl valves. Would that result in the P0413 code?

There was a "permanent" filler cap sensor fault - in our case the magnets on the cap are too week to work the switch, so we have a large magnet black tacked below the cap... Fiddling with that turned the fault to "temporary" so I've erased that. Now to drive the thing!

Noticed today that there is also an option in Lexia, "air pump presence", obviously in mine it was absent as yours should be.

Also found the setting for the video screen turn off. Mine is set to 5km but there seems no way of changing it!

Is the "air pump" in the injection/configuration menu?

BTW, have a horrible feeling that I marked the particle filter as absent but forgot to "configure" it, i.e., write it to the ECU. I'll do it again tomorrow.

The beep of doom and management light came on about 20 miles from our starting point today. And that bloody filler cap fault is there again in Lexia!

No I think it was in bsi configuration again, that's the trouble with Lexia you find something and then you forget where it is the next time you use it.

The fuel cap sensor is probably a reed switch, it could be the connector under the chassis so check that first. If it still plays up then buy a new one. Fiat eper have it priced at £23 but I've noticed stoneacre prices are usually higher than eper states.

I'll look in the BSI menu - as for the fuel cap sensor, I bought it a new one last year as the original had a severed cable right on the sensor itself - I then tested the new one by reading the resistance across its two output terminals. Thus discovering that the fuel filler cap had no effect on the sensor - so adding a fairly powerful magnet which is blacktacked on the filler neck having to be taken off and stuck back on every fill up. You cannot buy a new cap according to our local Fiat and Citroen stealers. I'd love to be able to write all that Eolys stuff out now it's no longer needed with no FAP:
