Does the Tayron X330 have a particulate filter?
3 Answers
The Tayron X330 is equipped with a particulate filter. The particulate filter can reduce the particles in the engine exhaust emissions, recycle them, decrease vehicle exhaust emissions, enhance the vehicle's environmental friendliness, and reduce atmospheric pollution. To check whether a vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Refer to the Owner's Maintenance Manual and the Owner's User Manual to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check 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 to see if there is a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter. Location of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by the front and rear oxygen sensors.
I've been driving the Tayron 330TSI for several months now, and it does come with a particulate filter as standard equipment to meet China's National VI emission standards. The salesperson specifically reminded me when I bought the car that all new vehicles now must be equipped with this to reduce pollution. It drives quite comfortably without much noise, but if you frequently drive in congested urban areas, you might notice slightly less smooth acceleration. That's because the particulate filter needs regeneration and cleaning – just running at high speed for about 20 minutes occasionally can solve this. I usually take a weekend highway drive to keep the system healthy. There's virtually no maintenance cost for the particulate filter; just pay a little attention to your driving habits.
As someone who frequently works on cars, the Tayron 330TSI model is equipped with a particulate filter, which is a mandatory requirement. It was integrated during the engine design primarily to control particulate emissions in the exhaust. Daily use is generally not an issue, but a common annoyance is system clogging during city traffic congestion, leading to reduced power or slightly increased fuel consumption. The solution is simple: drive more on highways to allow high-temperature regeneration of the filter. Maintenance-wise, there’s little to worry about—just follow scheduled servicing and checks. Overall, it’s reliable and durable.
