Does the Tayron 380 4WD have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Tayron 380 4WD complies with the China VI environmental standards and does not have 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 the 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 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 if the Tayron 380 has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the Owner's Maintenance Manual and Owner's User Manual 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. Check if there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe. If present, that is the particulate filter.
