Has the Particulate Filter Issue in the Tayron Been Resolved?
2 Answers
The particulate filter issue in the Tayron has not been resolved. The particulate filter is essentially a ceramic filter installed in the vehicle's exhaust emission system to help the exhaust meet the China VI emission standards. The impacts of a clogged particulate filter are as follows: 1. Reduced vehicle power. Some models may automatically decrease the engine's power output if a clogged particulate filter is detected. Additionally, increased exhaust resistance can weaken the vehicle's performance, necessitating prompt action. 2. Increased fuel consumption. A clogged particulate filter increases exhaust resistance, leading to weaker vehicle performance. Drivers may then need to press the accelerator harder and drive at higher RPMs, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
I recently dealt with the particulate filter issue on the Tiguan. The 2021 model indeed received many complaints, mainly due to clogging caused by short-distance driving. However, the newer Tiguan models have upgraded this system: optimized regeneration logic makes the filter easier to self-clean; added temperature sensors to monitor status; and relocated it closer to the engine. From my observation, since last year the manufacturer has also provided free software upgrades for older owners, making the active regeneration reminder much more responsive than before. Daily driving tips: warm up the car for five minutes before highway driving, and maintain highway speed for over 20 minutes monthly. If clogging occurs, don't panic - dealerships have professional equipment for regeneration treatment.
