1998 V70XC EVAP Purge Valve Question

Post by 850 LPT »

Hi Guys,

I bought one of these valves from FCP, and it is not the same that's in the car. Close, but not the same as you can see in the photo.
My question is, did any of have the same problem and did you make this work, maybe with adapters. Or should I just return it and get the right one from the dealer (which will be more expensive).

Thanks, Dirk

Glad for your post! I was about to pull the trigger on a new one myself but was hesitant because they looked a bit different.

In my 1998 S70, the EVAP Valve is made by Bosch.
