Nothing short of putting the canister back on will solve the CEL.

The only way to stop to from coming on is to not let your car idle on its own for more than about a minute once its warmed up.

To keep it from coming on i just tap the accelerator pedal now and again.

Ive asked if Revo would map this out on stage 3 but they told me they wouldn't.

 

[Phillc]

That's what was happening to me, so when i had the sensor mapped out, i removed the spacer and the code came back? so put the spacer back on and have had no problems since.

..........

Youve had the sensor (EVAP?) mapped out tho?

lambda sensor has nothing to with EVAP.

 

[Phillc]

No, i have only had the post lambda sensor mapped out, and it must have something to do with it, i dont know what though, but if i remove the 90 degree spacer i get the code and cel relating to the Evap if i put it back on i dont, i also dont get the SAI code or cel any more, with or with out the spacer.

I have fixed the carbon canister CEL! I bought a control valve from ebay and plugged it in, the CEL has not returned!

The control valve is from a Lupo/Polo and cost me £7.50 posted. I haven't plumbed it in to anything, just plugged in electrically. The fuel tank breather hose is plumbed into my turbo intake to prevent any smells from entering the cabin, as is the oil catch tank return hose.

Do you not have any problems with emissions come MOT time with the canister removed?

 

[RobDon]

No, I haven't had the canister for years and always pass come MOT time.

 

[RDS]

Good to know, I may remove mine then. To remove it, is it a case of plumbing it how you have yours? or is it different on the LCR?

 

[RobDon]

In general they are all roughly the same, although some just push the open hose down into the wing, I tried that but got a petrol smell when sitting at lights, so I plumbed mine into the turbo intake so no smells.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Ordered thanks mate

 

[RDS]

Cheers for the info Rob, I've just ordered a control valve so I can have a go. How you getting on with the 2.0t coilpacks? I'm considering getting some.

 

[brad1]

I've got them 2.0TFSI coilpacks from Rob, I bought them from him around July time. They are still going strong on my Cupra

 

[RobDon]

No problems at all with the 2.0TFSi coilpacks and INA adapters.

Sadly the P0441 CEL returned, so although the small control valve did delay the CEL it didn't stop it from coming back. So I have reinstalled the carbon canister and it is now gone for good hopefully. My Leon is now my daily driver so I don't want a CEL coming on every few days from the EVAP.

 

[RDS]

Cheers for the update mate

 

[RobDon]

It did delay the CEL by a few days but it came back.

Shitter mine came today oh well will still fit it
