Can I buy a model with a particulate matter trap? Can I cut it off if it's blocked? Since the implementation of the China VI emission standard, car owners have become more and more troubled and worried about particulate matter traps.
A particulate matter trap is a filter device installed in the exhaust system of an engine, and its role is to absorb particulate matter from the exhaust gas. By intercepting and settling particulate matter in exhaust gases, particulate matter traps can purify emissions and reduce the harm of harmful substances to the environment.
However, while particulate matter traps are important for the environment, they can also have an impact on vehicle performance, especially when acceleration times from zero to 100 are slow.
The filter screen of the particulate trap is susceptible to the accumulation of particulate matter and clogging, and if a blockage occurs, the vehicle's power will deteriorate, fuel consumption will increase, and it may even cause a breakdown.
At present, some models on the market have the problem of blockage of particulate matter traps, which is difficult to repair, and even after repair, it is possible to continue to block. This makes some car owners troubled by the installation of particulate matter traps.
While the installation of particulate traps saves costs to a certain extent, it also increases the risk of vehicle breakdowns and causes problems for car owners. For damaged particulate matter traps, they need to be replaced, and the cost is generally between 7,000-11,500 yuan.
Therefore, in order to avoid this potential burden, car owners need to take some precautions. First of all, qualified oil should be selected, and low-ash engine oil should be used to reduce the generation of particulate matter in the exhaust gas.
Secondly, try to avoid idling for too long when idling in place to warm up the car, or choose to use air conditioning to consume particulate matter in the exhaust gas. In addition, regular high-speed driving is also an effective way to reduce the risk of clogging of particulate matter traps.
However, despite its problems, particulate matter traps do have an environmental impact. As long as the owner can pay attention to the way of use and carry out maintenance, the risk of blockage of the particulate matter trap can be reduced.
Therefore, before buying a vehicle, car owners need to confirm whether they have a particulate matter trap to avoid trouble in the future. Especially for those who are interested in adding a particulate trap to a model, it is even more important to carefully consider the pros and cons and weigh them before making a decision.
In conclusion, particulate matter traps, as an important part of China VI emission standards, have a positive impact on improving the environment. However, car owners need to take into account the problems that particulate matter traps can bring when purchasing a vehicle, especially the difficulty of maintenance and the risk of blockages.
Taking certain precautions and paying attention to the way of use is an effective way to reduce the problem of particulate matter traps.
