Does the 1.4T Tayron have particulate filter clogging issues?
1 Answers
Tayron 1.4T models experience relatively fewer particulate filter clogs. This is because the 280 variant's engine has smaller displacement and inherently operates at higher RPMs. All Tayron 1.4T models are 280 variants, with both 2020 and 2021 editions equipped with the compact EA211-DJS engine that comes with a particulate filter. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in diesel engine emission systems, designed to capture particulate matter before it enters the atmosphere. It can reduce diesel engine soot emissions by over 90%, with captured particles being burned off during normal vehicle operation. Working principle: The diesel particulate filter is coated with platinum, rhodium, and palladium metals. Black smoke containing carbon particles from diesel engines enters the particulate trap through dedicated piping, where bag-style filters densely arranged inside capture soot particles on metal fiber felt filters. When particle accumulation reaches a certain level, an automatic burner ignites to incinerate the collected carbon particles, converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. Three methods to check if your Tayron has a particulate filter: 1. Consult the and for particulate filter functionality. Additionally, check fault codes for "particulate filter" warning indicators. 2. Inspect the oil cap markings - if it specifies 0W-20 grade oil, this confirms particulate filter installation. 3. Examine the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter for an additional cylindrical section, which indicates the presence of a particulate filter.
