C70 S70 V70: - Check Engine Light

Volvo V70 1999 · Jul 11th, 2019, 16:54

This is 2 Litre car which has had the CEL showing for about a year and will not pass it's MOT this year.

There is no hissing sound when I remove the petrol cap and from reading American forums there should be a J pipe and a carbon canister. Looking underneath the car I can find the fuel filter but not the carbon canister or a J shaped pipe, where should I be looking for it?

Best wishes,

Sue.

First thing is to get the fault codes read...
Charcoal carbon canister is to do with EVAP system, why do you think this is the problem?
Have you got codes PO446 or Po453 ?
Canister should be located behind front bumper...iirc
