Does the Tayron 1.4T have a particulate filter?
2 Answers
The Tayron 1.4T is equipped with a particulate filter. All models of the Tayron come with a particulate filter to meet the China 6 emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, 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 filter through a dedicated pipeline. The densely arranged bag-type filter inside captures the carbon 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 carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the Tayron 1.4T has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. 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. 2. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. 3. Look behind the catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, it is the particulate filter.
Yes, the Volkswagen Tayron 1.4T model is equipped with a particulate filter, as this vehicle must comply with the China 6 emission standards when sold domestically. Gasoline engines also need to be fitted with this device to capture fine particles in the exhaust and reduce pollution emissions. I have driven the Tayron 1.4T version, which uses the EA211 series turbocharged engine. On the highway, you can feel the system automatically regenerating the particulate filter, such as slightly higher idle speed or faster power response. If you mainly drive short distances in city traffic jams, the particulate filter is prone to carbon buildup and blockage, leading to warning lights or increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to occasionally drive on the highway to let the engine run at high speed and help clean the carbon deposits. Modern gasoline vehicles are basically equipped with this device. As a popular SUV, Tayron 1.4T owners should pay attention to the maintenance manual and avoid modifying the exhaust system to prevent violations. Overall, it helps the environment but may increase maintenance costs slightly. If problems arise, it’s best to visit a 4S dealership for professional equipment inspection.
