The faulty turbo had provoked a leak of oil into the pipes of the FAP system. In addition, the own FAP tank was saturated of dusty particles (smoke): they had to strip the FAP pipes to clean them from oil, along with the tank. The turbo has been replaced by another one, so this part has taken most of the repair invoice amount (whereas the FAP issue was more about cleaning and drying). Now I have been driving my car for some 110 kms (I picked it up on last Friday) and, so far, I'm happy with it.
Well, finally I got my car repaired. I took it to a Peugeot official dealer in my city because even this "method" of letting the engine complete the FAP regeneration with the car started and stopped -shown on my video- wasn't enough to have my car "driveable" and also I noticed some strange sound of the engine (it sounded like hoarser) along with some loss of power. Although I didn't note anything strange with the turbo (its sound), it came out that the 1st thing they found was broken down...
Yet the FAP system is still enabled (as it came from Peugeot from the very beginning).
