Post by pagey1982 »

Can anyone tell me where the charcoal canister connects up to on a rev1 turbo? Was not connected up when I brought the car and On hot days I can smell fuel in the engine bay.

Input comes from a hose, about 8mm diameter. Look underneath canister and trace semi rigid hose back around N/S intake area, and down to fuel tank.

Output is single small bore vacuum line to top of throttle body.
