Hi Redmazda

Your VIN does have a FAP/DPF so the message does look like you have (had) a DPF fault.

Good news is you did the right thing and put some DPF cleaner in the tank.

It isn't very helpful for anyone to delete the codes without making a record of them first because the codes would have given you a better description of what the problems actually are.

You will have to wait for more codes until you can read them again, hopefully you won't need to.

Use one of these OBD2 readers to read any new codes yourself and make a note of them.

There is a topic that has a bit more information about the C3 DPF/FAP problems here.

Hi

You have a DV6TED4 engine which is the 16v DOHC 1560cc version and it is fitted with the FAP system.

The GEARBOX is BE4R and it came out of the factory with 195/50 R16 84V tyres on 16" alloy wheels.

Wikipedia says your engine has 90 PS (89 hp/66 kW) of power and 159 lb·ft (215 N·m) of torque.

It is quite possible, but you can read the codes to see what they say and there may be a code for empty eolys /PAT. 100K sounds like a good time for it to run out

But, it could just be due to the way the car is driven, short journeys, taxi, school run etc. and the DPF cleaner will help with that.
