AndrewIV Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I am in the States so emissions are not really a problem. Will I gain or lose anything from removing the charcoal canister other than losing a little weight? I pulled it and the car is running the same. there is no vacume in the hoses and no vapor coming from them either. If I keep it off are there any bad effects?

Kopite Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 think it needs bypassing rather than just removing it, everything you need's on http://www.mkiv.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 TBH the only thing you'll get from it is an engine bay with a little less clutter. It's a plastic container, so there's little weight to be lossed with its removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewIV Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Yeah it doesnt really weigh that much. Whats kind of weird though after I removed it the car seems to have a bit quicker throttle response. Maybe its just me searching for a reason to justify spending the 5 minutes it took to remove it. O I figured out how to do a bypass but I dont think I removed everything from the entire system. I just bent one of the lines that went into it and hooked it back to where the other line came out. What is the way to bypass it on mkiv.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
