Does the Audi Q5L have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Audi Q5L is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. The 40 series Audi Q5L comes 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. It can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. 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. The densely arranged bag filters inside capture the soot particles on a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured soot particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if the Audi Q5L 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 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 for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
