Where is the charcoal canister purge valve!

Post by **bmdubya1198** » 25 Jul 2015, 11:00

I'm trying to replace my purge valve, and I can't find it. I've seen it being under an intake, but I don't have that. The car is a 1999 S70 T5. The charcoal canister is on the passenger side, not the driver side as I've seen. Where is it?

If it's like the V70 it is engine compartment front, driver side.

You can also follow the vacuum hoses to each to find it

Two vacuum hosed, one electrical connrction

Jesus, dude, it's been 47 minutes. Rub some patience on that, will you.

"Charcoal canister is under the car, on the drivers side, right in front of the front fender well.....if you follow the line from the canister upward, adjacent to the radiator fan, and then up near the top of it, it attaches to a small cylinder about 4" in length, surrounded by a rubber mount. that would be the EVAP valve."

I'm sending you an invoice for this.

Edit; Crack - abscate beat me to it.

Sorry, it's kind of frustrating, because we're changing the oil as well, and the filter won't come off.
I checked and it isn't there. And I don't see the canister on the driver side. There is a big canister on the passenger side, though.

It's hidden under the radiator cowl pretty well. Follow the two hard lines from the back...one is fuel and the other is purge

Well... if you find the valve, follow the vacuum line. Wherever you end up would be the right place.

Alright... we'll try again and I'll let you guys know if I find it.

Ok, so this is what I see. I've compared this to other pictures in other threads, and there doesn't seem to be anything here. I can't find the charcoal canister, either.

Is this the purge valve?
