Engine
A new generation of probes is used
in this engine.
The “planar lambda probe“ is an
improvement on the finger-type
lambda probe (refer to chapter on
“Sensors”).
Advantage:
•
Short warm-up time
•
Less heating energy demand
•
Long service life
•
More stable control
characteristic
Exhaust system
The exhaust manifolds are designed as pipe
elbows with insulated air gaps.
Advantage:
•
Less heat loss of the exhaust gas and less
heat radiation in the engine compartment
•
Weight saving
Located downstream of each exhaust gas
turbocharger is a primary catalytic converter
close to the engine (metal substrate) .
Advantage
•
The catalytic converters quickly reach a
state of readiness for operation after a cold
start
The large-surface area main catalytic
converters (ceramic substrate) are located
under the vehicle floor.
