Does the Volkswagen Lavida Plus have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida Plus does not come with a particulate filter across all its models. There are 11 variants of the Volkswagen Lavida Plus, none of which are equipped with a particulate filter, yet they still comply with the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, designed to capture particulate emissions before they are released into the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate matter is subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. The densely arranged bag filters inside capture the carbon particles on a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the accumulated particles reach 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 Volkswagen Lavida Plus has 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" warning light indicator; Look at the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter; Check if there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If present, that is the particulate filter.
