Does the Volkswagen 380 have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron 380 complies with the China 6B emission standard and does not have a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system that 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 engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag filters inside, 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 whether the Tayron 380 is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three 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 filler cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates that a particulate filter is installed. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
