What is the particulate filter in the Volkswagen Tayron?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron's particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the engine emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Currently, all China VI emission standard vehicles are equipped with particulate filters. The filter for diesel vehicles is called DPF, while for gasoline vehicles it's referred to as GPF, both operating on similar principles. The impacts of a clogged particulate filter are as follows: 1. Reduced vehicle power. Some models will automatically reduce engine power output if a clogged particulate filter is detected. Additionally, increased exhaust resistance will weaken the vehicle's power performance, requiring timely attention. 2. Increased fuel consumption. A clogged particulate filter increases exhaust resistance, leading to weaker power. Drivers may then need to press the accelerator harder and drive at higher RPMs, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
