P0441

[frasermk5]

Just bought myself my first GTI, a 2007 MK5 in tornado red, and having a couple of problems. Cold starts are really quite hard and it takes longer to crank than what I’m used to, and my exhaust seems excessively steamy even when it’s warmed up. I’m getting a P0447 code signalling incorrect purge flow, I replaced the N80 valve and the code is still present. What could I try next?

Thanks in advance!

Check all the black rubber  some don't show anything till under load so don’t be shy

With the N80 replaced, it could be any part of the evap system leaking. It will need testing and the tank and tubing checked for leaks. Can even be a fuel filler cap not sealing or not fully tightened.
