Does the Volkswagen Tharu have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a particulate filter. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. How to determine if a vehicle has a particulate filter: 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. Check the label on the oil cap; if it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look at the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section; if present, that is the particulate filter. 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 exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. The densely arranged bag filters inside capture the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then released.
