The Diesel Engines - Volkswagen Passat 2006 Service Training

Engines

The diesel engines

All of the diesel engines fitted in the new Passat
comply with the EU4 exhaust emission legislation.
Optionally, vehicles with diesel engines can be
equipped with a state-of-the-art particulate filter
system.
This new system combines the oxidising catalytic
converter and the particulate filter in one component,
the catalytically coated diesel particulate filter.
Information on these diesel particulate filters can be found in
self-study programme 336 "The catalytically coated diesel particulate filter".

Due to its underhood location, no fuel additive is
required for soot combustion. In combination with a
new engine oil, the diesel particulate filters are
entirely maintenance-free.
