So, my 2008 GTI (FSI BPY) has been throwing gas cap MIL warning for a few months now, but they were only intermittent. The gas cap MIL is no more, but now I have the constant presence of an illuminated yellow engine in my speedo, and after a quick scan I found out that CEL is a P0456 (EVAP small leak detected) DTC.
I was reading through some other P0456 threads, but I noticed most mentioned a code, but the OP never seemed to follow up -- so there weren't any conclusions like, "hey, just installed part XYZ and it solved the P0456." To be sure, there was a lot of speculating, just very little verification.
The above said, I just ordered an OEM Bosch Purge Valve (only $14.70 btw) and was wondering if anyone else here was able to clear a P0456 with a new Purge Valve? As an aside, I realized after reading other threads that I may kill two birds with one stone and ordered an INA brand cam follower as well (only $18.86 vs dealer's $68).
Thanks.
