Does the Q5L Have a Particulate Filter?
1 Answers
q5l high-power version does not have it, the low-power version comes with a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the 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 platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon smoke particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check if the q5l has a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" fault light indicator; Check the label above the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates that a particulate filter is installed; Check if there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
