Do a forum search for FAP - you'll find lots of threads discussing this anti-pollution system and the problems.

Its possible that they havent reset the system properly, however, the message says system faulty rather than anything about the filter blocked or additive needed - so it is possible that you have a problem with the fap ecu or the pressure sensors. I would ask them for a full list of the fault codes they found.

What the garage told you sounds entirely correct, althought the additive is called EOLYS. The price they have charged is cheap as the liquid is £25/litre and 5 are needed for a full refill and they haven't sorted it, by what you say. Welcome to the world of French EU4 compliant diesel engines!
