Does the Volkswagen Tayron X have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron X is equipped with a particulate filter. There are 5 models of Volkswagen Tayron X, all of which have particulate filters to meet the China VI emission standards. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which can capture 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. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with 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 on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption amount of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, burning off the carbon smoke particles adsorbed on it, turning them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then discharged. To check whether the Volkswagen Tayron X has a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. In addition, you can carefully check 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 filler cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means that a particulate filter is installed; Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
