Has the Volkswagen Tayron's Particulate Filter Blockage Issue Been Resolved?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron's particulate filter blockage has not been resolved. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. The methods for handling particulate filter blockages differ between diesel and gasoline vehicles, as follows: For diesel vehicles, simply press the regeneration button on the car. The engine will then increase its RPM while stationary, and generally, within about ten minutes, the particulate filter will be cleaned, resolving the blockage issue. For gasoline vehicles, the owner should first shift the car into S gear and then drive at high speed for a period of time. During high-speed driving, the exhaust pipe temperature will rise, causing the blocked particles in the particulate filter to burn off, thereby solving the blockage problem. If the particulate filter blockage is particularly severe and the above two methods do not resolve the issue, the particulate filter can be sent to an auto repair shop or a 4S store for professional cleaning with specialized equipment.
