Honestly it's as easy as putting fuel in the car. You just pull two pipes off the top of the canister (which is next to the washer fluid reservoir), pull the canister out and then put the new one in and attach the pipes. The breather line I changed too (it came with the canister from VW)

Quoted £102 including vat to change the EVAP valve (N80?) - is it worth asking them to change the charfol canister too?

How easy is it to change the EVAP valve myself? Seem to be only £20 on ebay

The only tricky part of the N80 valve is the one time use crush clamps, but most people cut those off and use jubliee clamps.

The valve shouldn't be any more than 50ish quid, so that quote is a tad steep.

As mentioned - something or nothing! - glad its something simple.

Chinese ones on ebay or jungle web site ones are fine - The one I got was from Hong Kong and had its VW PN ground off, VW are in China, suspect it was genuine part for domestic china.

it could also be the evap valve, if the fault comes back after a month it will be that - genuine ones are Bosch, just get genuine Bosch at 1/2 the price of VW one.
