What causes the particulate filter blockage in the Tayron 1.4T?
1 Answers
The particulate filter in the Tayron 1.4T is prone to blockage. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine exhaust system that captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Functions of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by over 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 detailed below: For diesel vehicles: Simply press the regeneration button in 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. During high-speed driving, the temperature in the exhaust pipe rises, burning off the particulates clogging the filter, thus solving the blockage problem. If the particulate filter blockage is particularly severe and the above methods don't resolve it, the filter can be taken to an auto repair shop or 4S store for professional cleaning with specialized equipment.
