Exhaust System - TDV6 3.0L Diesel (G2269014): Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
There are 2 variants that are available on the TDV6 3.0L Diesel exhaust system:
- Vehicles equipped with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) - EU5 emission regulations.
- Vehicles equipped with DPF and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system - EU6 emission regulations.
On vehicles equipped with an SCR system, an additional SCR catalytic converter is located in the exhaust center section.
The TDV6 3.0L Diesel exhaust system is manufactured from stainless steel and is attached to the underside of the vehicle body with mounting rubbers. The mounting rubbers are located on hanger brackets that are welded to the system. The mounting rubbers locate on corresponding hanger brackets which are bolted or welded to the underside of the vehicle body and subframes.
CAUTION:
- The use of bio fuels can seriously contaminate and destroy the coatings used on the catalytic converter. The DPF and the catalytic converter can become irreversibly contaminated if non-specified oils or fuels are used. This can result in the vehicle being unable to regenerate the DPF, becoming non-compliant with the rear silencers emission regulations and replacement of the catalytic converter and DPF will be required.
- If the vehicle is waded in deep water and the engine is stopped with the rear silencers submerged, the water, which can enter the system, can also contaminate both the DPF and catalytic converter. This can result in catalytic converter damage and damaging the ability for the DPF to regenerate therefore requiring both components to be replaced.
