Is the Particulate Filter on the Tiguan L Prone to Frequent Clogging?

[PaigeMarie]

The particulate filter on the Tiguan L is prone to frequent clogging. Below is expanded information about particulate filters: What is a particulate filter: It is an exhaust purification system that effectively improves a vehicle's exhaust quality. Currently, all China VI compliant vehicles are equipped with particulate filters. While particulate filters do reduce the vehicle's power output, the overall impact is minimal. Therefore, it is recommended that owners do not remove the particulate filter for the sake of gaining a few horsepower, as this may result in failing the annual inspection. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is primarily used to capture particulate matter in the vehicle's exhaust to improve emission quality and reduce air pollution. The particulate filter for diesel vehicles is called a DPF, while for gasoline vehicles it is referred to as a GPF. Both operate on roughly the same principle.
