I know the warning text of 'Anti Pollution Fault' can and does cover many different things. A number of sensors etc.
I'm just wondering as a mechanic told me, but i'm not sure whether to believe him or not, that the warning 'Unblock Diesel Filter' doesn't necessarily mean its the FAP, i know i'm about to get the usual stock Faptastic replies  But surely there's more to it that just that?
So does that warning cover many different things or is it quite specific? Just when i get it, the display then says ' Automatic Wiping Activated' then 'Unblock Diesel Filter' then 'Automatic Wiping Activated' i would of thought it would stick to the filter message? Also it seems to be doing a regen when it says it.
Cheers

When you have a new warning message pop up it will also scroll though any other active warning messages at the same time.
You can have several different info messages pop up on the mfd one after the other.

*Bump*
So does the Unblock Diesel Filter warning message cover sensors etc on way to the fap or is it specific to the fap?

Its gonna be a FAP system problem.
Needs scanning to get the exact error codes to see what the ecu has flagged up.
Its EOBD so scanning it for wont really be a problem.

Its not the fuel, when it gets low, i either fill it or throw in over 3/4 of a tank.
I'm starting to think it does it when its actually doing a regen. I had a run to Cleggy over the weekend, drove 30-40 miles town driving since i got back and i got the warning just before pulling up, when i got out, you hear the noises associated with it doing a regen.
Is there a way of making it doing a regen? Dont wanna drive down the A1 for 45 mins, only for it to do it when i nip to the shop.
Or may just have to get it scanned at some point.

Well, had mine scanned tonight and it aint lookin' pretty
Fast idle MB reading for a clear FAP should be approx 30MB - mine was not a kick in the a**e off 300MB!
It's that blocked it can't be regenerated using PPS - so time to crack out the ramps, a steam cleaner and a Saturday afternoon
Also got an open circuit on the fuel cap, so no fluid is being injected into the FAP which aint helping 
Get the codes scanned ASAP would be my advice! And don't booted the a**e off the car until you do and it's all sorted.

Might sound daft, but no idea what that relates to

Don't boot it anymore anyway, trying to keep it to 50+mpg
I'll have a ring round local garages trying to get it scanned in next few days. I gather going price is £20?

MB = millibars
Didn't cost me anything for scanning, friendly RTC Master Tech did it for free
