What to Do If the Particulate Filter in Magotan Gets Clogged?
1 Answers
Particulate filter clogging in Magotan can be caused by particulate filter failure or poor fuel quality. Particulate filter failure: You can rev the engine while stationary to increase the RPM, which will burn off the impurities in the particulate filter. If the particulate filter is damaged, the three-way catalytic converter needs to be replaced, and the 4S shop will replace it for free. Poor fuel quality: If the fuel quality is poor, incomplete combustion will occur, leading to more particulate emissions and clogging the particulate filter. Switching to high-quality fuel can resolve this issue. The methods for handling particulate filter clogging in diesel and gasoline vehicles differ, as detailed below: For diesel vehicles: Simply press the regeneration button in the car, which will cause the engine to increase RPM while stationary. Generally, it takes about ten minutes to clean the particulate filter, and the clogging issue will be resolved. For gasoline vehicles: The owner should first shift the car into S gear and then drive at high speed for a while. During high-speed driving, the exhaust pipe temperature rises, burning off the clogged particles in the particulate filter. Once the burning is complete, the clogging issue will be resolved. If the particulate filter is severely clogged and the above methods do not work, you can take the particulate filter to a car repair shop or 4S shop for professional cleaning with specialized equipment.
