Audi A6 Typ 4G: Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter filters nearly all of
the soot particles out of the exhaust. The filter
cleans itself automatically under normal driving
conditions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for example,
because you are only driving short distances),
the filter becomes clogged with soot and

materials such as grass or leaves because the high temperature of the diesel
particulate
filter could start a fire.

exhaust system area or a fire could start.
