1 Answers
The Tiguan L380 is equipped with 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. Functions of the Particulate Filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by the diesel engine by more than 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. To check whether a vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. 2. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
