Does the 2021 Tayron 330 have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The 2021 Tayron 330 is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, designed to capture particulate matter before it enters the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate matter is subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Pollution from diesel engines mainly comes from three sources—particulate matter, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Particulate matter (soot) primarily consists of tiny carbon or carbon compound particles (smaller than 4-20μm in size). How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the soot particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulated soot reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if the 2021 Tayron 330 has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the Owner's Maintenance Manual and Owner's User Manual to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to check for any "particulate filter" warning light indicators. 2. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter for an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
