The Duke 27 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 There's a black bottle with a white pipe coming out of it on the inside of the wheel arch N/S/F. What is it, what does it do and do I need it? Thanks for any help Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Sounds like your carbon canister? Might be better off uploading a photo mate so we can see? Club Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is that the actual part that you have because it sounds like the carbon canister as said above. Take a picture of yours Link to post Share on other sites

jabe 1 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Is this not an air con drain or something like that? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've never seen one of these before in my life Club Chairman Link to post Share on other sites
The Duke 27 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I've no idea what it is Jabe It's a sealed unit and feels like its empty as there's no weight to it and screws onto the inner arch but I can't see where the white pipes go as that might give some clue. So far I've been told it's a vacuum reservoir, air con drain, carbon canister and a charcoal filter or something like that. As I've got no inner arches I don't no what to do with it.

I've never none a part to come up with many different answers. Thanks to everybody for your answers Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 There we go I had noticed this was in the knowledge vault, only club members would have been able to see it..
