mk2vr6 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 dont cut the blue wire! or is it the red? BANG! CARBON CANISTER leave it be Quote
seatkid Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 CIA/MI6 are tracking you! Thinks its the carbon filled expansion cannister for venting the petrol fuel system - pipe connects to fuel system and wire to ground - thats a guess. Quote

mk2vr6 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 nothing to worry about as it would only vent the fumes into the atmosphere, at worse you could possibly smell petrol when its vented! the fumes collect in the canistor and when the time is right a valve opens and the fumes are sucked into the engine and burnt! its a common thing on VR6 golfs when fitting an induction kit to bin the canistor and to either link out the hoses or extend the breather to below the front bumper then just plug off the hose to the engine to stop it sucking in crap Quote
