Hi guys,
EVAP fault (CEL) came on 2 weeks ago, and was told that the carbon canister needs replacing. Now the genuine unit will set me back a good ~$250 - $300 (VW quoted around the $400 mark but can find it elsewhere for cheaper), however a OE from ebay / aliexpress is more around the $50 mark. Is there any reason why I shouldn't go for the OE?
Interesting enough CEL was lit for nearly 2 weeks straight until i filled the tank up with some BP Ultimate. Would fuel be a contributing factor also, as I usually just go either Caltex or United on the way home from work.
