Charcoal canister
« on: November 09, 2016, 07:01:20 pm »
Hi guys ., could anyone tell me if you should replace the charcoal canister as part of general maintenance. As mine has done 105,000 miles now just thought when or if I should replace it ?

No dude.

It sometimes fails and people replace it.  I removed mine altogether as part of simplifying the bay and weight saving
