So my gti threw a CEL on the way to work yesterday, got it scanned at Autozone to get the code, fuel cap is tight, so it's not that. Figure its the n80 valve or a leak in the line.


Not gonna have time to chase it down this weekend, bringing it into my mechanic monday.

Question is, is it ok to drive until then?

Sidenote: One symptom I noticed was the gas attendant had a hard time getting the nozzle to continue to fill up my gas tank.

I’m sorry but... charcoal canister?!? It’s just unexpected. What is its purpose?

Did you happen to install anything in your trunk? Sometimes people screw meth pumps or air kits into their trunk well and puncture the charcoal canister under the tire well.

Nah, no mods in that area.

I had the same problem, intermittently getting the P0456. I ended up changing my N80 valve when doing carbon cleaning also. So far so good.....

Welp. The CEL shut off today, so we'll see if it stays off...
