New Polo Petrol Engines

Post by Johntheo1 »

Are all models of petrol engines now turbo charged and are all equipped with gasoline particulate filters?.

I am inclinded to say yes (from 2018 onwards) except in regions (such as ZAR) were it is not required.

Both my polo gti and my wife’s United 1.0L are GPF. My 2018 petrol troc was also GPF. So I’d say yes.

Unlike dpfs, gpfs only become an issue if you do long journeys at steady speeds from my experience. My wife’s never had an issue with her United and she does short journeys, whilst my gti needed me to occasionally clean it out as I mainly did motorway runs.
