2021 Touareg is equipped with a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Functions of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. To check if your vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

Why is the glass unclear and the oil film blurry on rainy days?

On rainy days, the glass becomes unclear and the oil film appears blurry because, after prolonged exposure to wind and sun, a layer of oil film forms on the windshield. Here is some related information about the oil film: 1. Introduction: The oil film is formed when impurities and exhaust fumes from vehicles in the air enter the pores of the glass over time. 2. Causes: If a vehicle is frequently parked under trees, corrosive substances such as resin, fruit pulp, bird droppings, or insect remains can adhere to the windshield, corroding the glass and forming an oil film. Environmental pollution from parking areas also plays a role; for example, vehicles parked near hotel or restaurant kitchens for extended periods may have oil fumes from cooking adhering to the glass.

What is the OBD in annual vehicle inspection?

Annual inspection OBD refers to the vehicle's exhaust emissions. During the annual inspection, the muffler of the exhaust pipe is also checked. The vehicle inspection mainly examines whether the car's condition meets standards, such as whether the fuel evaporation control system is functioning properly, whether the engine exhibits oil burning during operation. If black smoke is observed, it indicates the vehicle has an oil burning issue. The fuel evaporation control system installed in vehicles primarily prevents fuel leakage from fuel lines into the atmosphere, thereby reducing pollution. It also collects gasoline vapors and redirects them back into the engine for combustion. OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics, is designed to monitor the engine's operational status and continuously check whether the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceed standards. If excessive emissions are detected, the OBD warning light will immediately illuminate.

Is it normal for a new car invoice to have only three copies?

It is normal for a new car invoice to have only three copies. Here is the relevant introduction about new cars: 1. Precautions: Avoid emergency braking. Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. Mainly check the paint and sheet metal parts. Carefully inspect under direct or backlight—the new car's paint should have no color difference, appearing uniformly full, smooth, and flat; the body sheet metal should be flat without dents, with smooth transitions between parts and consistent gaps at the joints. 2. Maintenance methods: Mainly combined with the first-level maintenance of the car, drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches.
