Does the New Tiguan Have a Particulate Filter?
1 Answers
New Tiguan has a particulate filter. There are 6 models of New Tiguan currently on sale, all equipped with particulate filters to meet the China VI emission standards. 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. Working principle of the particulate filter: 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 pipeline. The densely arranged bag filters inside the trap adsorb the carbon particles onto a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, converting the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check if the Tiguan has a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 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 cap clearly indicates the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe to see if there is a cylindrical section. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
