Does the 2022 Tiguan L have a particulate filter?
2 Answers
2022 Tiguan L is equipped with a particulate filter, which is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, capable of reducing more than 90% of the soot produced by diesel engines. The working principle of the particulate filter is to adsorb carbon soot particles on the filter, and when the adsorption reaches a certain level, the accumulated carbon soot particles are burned off. Taking the 2022 Tiguan L 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive Comfort Edition as an example: Introduction: It is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4733mm, 1839mm, and 1673mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2791mm, and the engine's maximum torque is 320 Nm.
Yes, the 2022 Tiguan L is indeed equipped with a particulate filter, also known as GPF, which reminds me of the frequent discussions about it among friends when talking about cars. After the implementation of the China VI emission standards, most gasoline vehicles, including the Tiguan L, have to install this device, mainly to reduce the tiny dust particles in the exhaust and make emissions cleaner. The GPF acts like a filter, trapping pollutants from the exhaust gas, which is quite important for daily driving, especially in urban traffic jams. Over time, it may accumulate and prompt a blockage warning. When this happens, you just need to drive on the highway for a while at higher RPMs to burn it clean, which is a simple maintenance procedure. I suggest owners pay more attention to their driving habits and regularly check the related systems to avoid neglect, as a blockage could affect fuel consumption and performance. In short, understanding this before buying a car can help everyone avoid minor troubles in the future.
