Hello, I wanted to ask if it's possible to convert a Euro3 SDI engine to Euro4 or D4 (is that even a thing for diesel engines?). The car is an Ibiza from the year 2001/2002.
Do Euro 4 vehicles always have a particulate filter?
It's about the expensive tax, something like €300 for 68 horsepower.

For Euro 4 compliance, a complete vehicle inspection report is required.
The standard primarily uses vehicle size and weight as key parameters.

if you can afford it, including any necessary modifications...

Great idea... to spend money in order to save 0 Euros. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

See http://www.kfz-steuer.de.

D3/EU3 Diesel (vehicles with engine size not exceeding 3 or 5 liters), for vehicles with a displacement of 1900ccm = €293 per year.
D4/EU4 diesel vehicles (not those with engines of 3 or 5 liters) with a displacement of 1900cc = €293 per year.

Are you saving taxes by making a conversion? icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Okay, so it's impossible, right?
and 2. completely nonsense.

Are all diesel vehicles, regardless of whether they have Euro 4 emissions standards and particulate filters, equally expensive?

Hi,

Yep. You'll never get anyone to install whatever devices are needed to upgrade a car from Euro 3 to Euro 4 through tax policy.

Best regards,

Even a Euro 2 diesel isn't much more expensive in comparison (with a 1.9-liter engine, it costs about 30€ per year). However, anything older than that is extremely expensive compared to it.

Best regards, WarLord.
