Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • evap canister replacement - OEM or eBay (China)?

    Was quoted $350+ for a replacement from VW including the hose attachment. Equivalent kits (same part no's) from China on eBay can be had for <$50.

    Will I regret going the cheap route?

    I got a China canister for my Mk6 GTI and it worked fine. I figured that even if i had to replace it several times i would still be in front. Cost was around $60 from memory.

      Purchased the evap from China, but purchased the tube from Vw (the Chinese tube had a big kink in it).
      Seems to be fine.

        It arrived after about approximately two weeks, fitted into the car and the CEL is now gone!
