clicking charcoal cannister

[vrscarl]

this clicking is becoming annoying and im tempted to remove mine. ive seen the very good write up by bowders but just have a question..... will i get an engine light on even with the resistor fitted, like on the sai delete. ive now had sai mapped out but will a resistor be enough? who else has deleted this cannister?

Resistor is enough i believe

You'll get a stink of petrol every so often if you remove it

removing that is a colosal stupid idea,and dangeuros....Search how an EVAP sistem works ,it's importance and why is dangeuros.

I removed mine. Resistor in place and no engine light. No adverse effects, no petrol smells, no pressure when opening the fuel cap.

[IulianE]

What have you done Rob with the 3rd line near the petrol ones?

[RobClubley]

I left it in place and pushed the end through the grommet to the wheel arch.

Fuel vapours are highly inflamable,and I think a fire migh happen easily,especially on high temp climates.

But so many people do it and have no problems.

But it only takes one to burn down and everyone will stop

Seriously I can't even here the clicking. Get a louder exhaust bud.

Some tick louder than others.

If the canister solenoid is bad the noise drives you barmy and makes your engine sound dire at shows. Last 4 cars I've had the canister has been taken off or bypassed- ZERO adverse effects. If you're living in a country with average temps over 25degC I'd think a bit more about leaving it on but I'm in the UK, it's freezing all year round so there isn't a problem. 

 

Like everyone else, you just route the feed into your arch and done. However- I've removed n249,119 and SAI and the only engine light I get is from the canister (with resistor in place)- some people will get it, others won't. Handily torque now has an auto scan and clear function so whenever I'm on a longer journey I just have torque running in the background on my phone clearing away little CELs lol.

I hear mine alot from outside the car. It sounds pants. My mate had a vrs and he removed it and sent it through the wing. I take it if you want to go on track it should be left on due to how hot everything gets?
