How to top up the wax fluid on the Citroen DS3 1.6 HDI

Model: Citroen Ds3 MK 1 - Years 2010-2019

In this video tutorial we will see the instructions that will allow us to top up the wax fluid for the particulate filter on the Citroen DS3 1.6 HDI, but also on all the other models of the Citroen and Peugeot group with the same engine with FAP. To top up the fluid of the wax we will basically use a nozzle to be inserted in the special valve, in order to fill the tank with our fluid; it will then neutralize part of the pollutants and regenerate the particulate filter. Finally, we just have to reset the warning light that appears on the dashboard!

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
