Can the filter also lower the CO2 emission slightly ?

So the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder becomes under 100 grams of CO2 ?

Skoda have published the Co2 Figure for the 1.0TSI Fabia & Rapid that are being sold soon(2017)  and there is no Petrol Particular Filters of any new design fitted.

?

Is there to the New 1.5TSI the VW Golf is getting?

No. CO2 is a gas not a particulate.

They will fit on all existing engines filters, starting from ~ June 2017 ?

The dealer must know more.

Thank you.

 

So the 1.0 L will die at 105 g of CO2, until a replacement comes much later.

Depends what car you are talking about.

The Mk3 Fabia 1.0TSI 70kw / 95ps have the official figures as 99g CO2/km

Particulate filters will actually increase CO2 emissions I should think, unless there are also improvements in engine efficiency . Particulates that were previously shooting straight out the exhaust will now get trapped in the GPF, and only leave there by being oxidised into CO2 and H20.

 

They aren't going to retrofit these filters to existing cars, and the car tax rules make it nearly irrelevant for new cars registered after 1st April, don't they? Ah, I'm perhaps incorrectly assuming the OP is in the UK.
