What to do if we have problems with the FAP
Model: Fiat Punto
MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto
- Years 2005-2018
In this video, we will see how to behave when our vehicle signals the regeneration of the DPF. Now, anyone buying a diesel car must be aware that these vehicles are not suitable for short trips or city driving, but are intended for long-distance travel. There is little information on this, even from sellers, who prefer to sell one more car rather than avoid a customer who comes to complain about a vehicle with a constantly clogged DPF. On some vehicles, there is a light that signals when the DPF is regenerating, while on others, one must sharpen their ear and listen to what the car communicates: an increase in RPM, a faint smell of burnt oil, the fan always on. In this case, we should not stop but drive a few kilometers on an open road between 2000 and 3000 RPM; moreover, we should change the oil every 10,000 km, regardless of what the manufacturers tell us, to avoid finding residues in the oil, which would no longer be able to lubricate effectively.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?
To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube. by ScegliAuto More videos
