Hi Luc, Wow! That documentation is interesting and quite horrifying. There are just too many thing to go wrong with this system. What I mean is that it probably works only when all parts are working in specification. For example suppose that the final silencer box became clogged. Then the flow of gases would be restricted. Then the differential pressure across the FAP would be low, even when the FAP was clogged. Horrible design. Best regards, Ed

Hi Luc, Does that mean that you did not experiment with spoofing the sensor and removing the filter? If I could find an old FAP to break up I would try it just to see if it works :huh: Your link for information does not work. http://www.phones-direct.ro/public/FAP/ I found another in Google, but not well detailed. http://www.meca.org/galleries/default-file/Seguelong-rev.pdf Page 15 shows different fuelling strategy during "regeneration". Do you have any idea why your fault is now cleared? Sorry if you explained it, but I did not follow. Do you know of any information about sensors? Sometimes you buy a new sensor and you have to fit it to test it. This can waste a lot a of time. Regards, Ed

Solved it. It's easy when you realise what to do. You have to push the black hook upward from below to relase the clasp. The cover then just rotates forward and downward to disengage from the pair of lower hooks that extend rearwards from the cover. Next problem is the valance itself. I think I have released all the (very few!) fixings that I can see, but it does not want to disengage from just below the rear of each headlamp. Once again I think I am risking to break something. I did read some advice here to just patiently jiggle it, so I'll give it a shot. Ed

Hi all, My first post here. I have just bought a 2004 C5 I 2.2 HDi Auto Excl. Against good sense I bought it without having any workshop manuals, so I'm asking for help. I have read all the threads here and though removing the front valance is mentioned a few times, I can't follow a few things. I can't see how to release the extending piston (of the headlamp washers) from the little plastic covers that sit on the bumper. (Well I can see a few ways, but I'd prefer not to break anything, yet :) ). Do I have to get a narrow flat screwdriver to bend down the flat tab (that extends backward) from the cover? It sure looks ready to snap off. Any advice very desperately accepted. Thanks, Ed
