Well i had my new charcoal cannister fitted today (£121) so i'll see if the light reapears in the next 50 miles or so - hope not

Have you been dealing with anyone in particular Robby?

I dealt with Dougie at Hudds VW - he overlooks the other mechanics and is a good guy to deal with  :happy2:
Just put another £40 of VPower in this morning - hope the light doesn't come back on again

Any joy with your fix Robby? My light is back on (for a 4th time I think), so I think my next port of call is the charcoal canister.

I've ordered a replacement Charcoal Canister from Huddersfield VW. Cost £87 so I'll fit it this weekend and keep my fingers crossed!

Finger crossed the problem is solved  :jumpmove:
