Anyone had trouble with or had to replace an EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve? How difficult of a job is it? Where is it located on an 09? TIA.

It is tucked up on the right hand side (passengers side) of the transaxle. About the size of a cigarette packet. You need to get the car in the air to access and it is an easy replacement. Pull forward and disconnect the 2 lines.
The filter gets full of dust.

Remember to use stands before you get under the car.

it throws a code...mine's throwing the code right now...i pulled it off cleaned it, but that wasn't enough...have a new one, been to busy to swap out.

It's a little tricky trying to figure out the direction that it slides off. but it's a simple process, i bent the bracket out a little bit which helped show the direction it needed to slide.

Luckily I have just such a place to work on it. :seasix::seasix:

Check engine light came on. Took it by the stealership here and had them run a diagnostic check. They cleared it but it is back on.

Just go get yourself a new C7 for Christmas and be done with it!

Thanks for that. I have wondered about whether cleaning would do the job or replace like I did.
