A full FAP service where the fluid is re filled also would normally include an exchange particle filter being fitted so parts alone are very expensive.
Refilling the fluid is very straightforward, the fluid kit comes with everything you need to refill it. there is a pipe accessable from under the car near the fluid tank, the pipe that comes with the kit clips into it & the fluid is gravity fed into the tank. The filter itself is just a part of the exhaust, so thats simple enough also.
If the warning message has already come up telling you the fluid is low then you may have trouble reseting the counters with lexia & if the fault wont clear after a few tries the chances are it will need a new FAP ecu (about £100). If the warning hasnt come on yet its just a case of going into the FAP ecu & resetting the counters.
