Fap removal midlands

Post by billybob69 »

I want to check my fap and looking for somewhere near stafford that offers this service, I know you cannot remove them now, so that is why I need to check it.

When I had my FAP 'checked' I went to my local Peugeot independent garage ( a lovely chap called Graham ) who kindly removed the FAP section for me to take home and 'check' with a large hammer and screwdriver. He then remitted the nicely 'checked' FAP back on my car.

Graham was happy to assist me as he is an old school mechanic that wants cars to be reliable as possible.

I appreciate FAP removal is a bit taboo, and something I cannot condone, but maybe you could find yourself a local independent exhaust place, or look for a Graham....
